Allotments 4 All

I`m on Rutland Road Allotments, Christchurch, its a great site. Everyone is so friendly.We have had quite a few who have given up their allotments this year so lots of new people have come in with lots of new ideas. Really pepped up the site.

Hi Fuchsia,
We used to be on Rutland road when we lived in Christchurch !!
My brother and sis in law are still there by the main car part (stu and eileen) we where behind chicken Malcolms plot :)
I used to run the lovely shop  :D

where is the rutland road site in christchurch guys? is it the one between stewerts and the sweetcorn fields or am i thinking of a different one? i am sure jitterbug is there too. we should all try and meet up in the spring. :)

Rutland road is off Fairmile, The Fairmile Inn and a petrol station  is directly opp the road  :)

ahhh, i didnt know there was a site around there. cool.  i will come and have alook see sometime. :)

I know Stu and Eileen and Malcom. My plot is opposite malcoms but right in the corner, Peters old plot. We should all get together at some point when the weathers better  ::)
There is a brick built BBQ on mine, looking for an excuse along with Malcom to get it going. Malcom seems to be keen on me to continue Peters tradition of making homemade wine !! I`ve heard stories lol.

hi, i am on southey rd allotments in somerford,christchurch

Peters plot won a place in a competition a few years ago  :D
It would be nice to all get togeher for a cuppa and a chat :)
Peters wine was ummmmmmmmmm lets say strong  ;D

Just thought, have you still got the peach trees ect on the plot ????

Hi
There is a peach (1) tree in the polytunnel. I met Peter for the first time last week, what a great guy, we had such a laugh. He`s going to bring me photo`s of the plot when he first got it. There is also a small apricot tree outside. Look forward to meeting up.

My allotment is in Exeter. The site is very high up so its very exposed and windswept in winter, (lots of sheds get blown over then if they're not tied down!), and the soil is the red Devon Clay, hard work initially but reasonably fertile once worked and improved with loads of organic stuff. . On the positive side, we get the sun for most of the day, and we do get the most fantastic views, right out over the countryside and out to the sea on a clear day!

Just looked back at various postings. Some of us talked about getting together in the spring. I`m on the Rutland Road site in Christchurch, anyone interested in coming down for a cuppa and a nose around the plots? I have tea making facilities and a toilet lol if that helps !!

Hi, south west, but only a garden and a couple of greenhouses, BAWDRIP in the country nearest towns taunton, weston-super-mare, and street village.
