Allotments 4 All

What do the NGS expect of an alloment site before it gets a place on the scheme? That one looks unbelievably neat if the pics are anything to go by!

I am speechless and green with envy.  I think we will have to have a different name for Saddads allotment as it is nothing like my overgrown wilderness, where some of mine is a nature garden (ie weeds and grass).  Could his be a 'posh plot' or 'super allotment'.  I will not look at the pictures anymore or will get depressed.  I could happily live in that lovely shed.

I don't know what the criteria is for getting in the NGS scheme, I sure Saddad will fill us in when he is back for his Ireland jaunt! ;D

The plots are all very different, and most are far from pristine I can assure you, as the person who does the plot assessments! We have been gradually (very gradually) turning uncultivated plots over to new plot holders in the past two years, but some like my OH and son's plot they have had since November were a bramble wilderness and are still being cleared. One of the reasons I like our site so much is that there are such a variety of types of plots, styles of planting and cultivation. But it is far from perfect, honest! ;D

I'd be grateful for any info, as I'd be interested in trying to get my site on the list. Everyone would support the idea to some extent, but if we tried to give the place a makeover, we'd be very properly ignored!

Well Saddad Tone and I might just be coming. You will have to remind us nearer the day cos as ya know we are gettin on and tend to forget. Might get some others from Court Lane to come as well

scared to say we're coming  ;D

We don't officially sell Welsh Onions manics... but I could always dig some up for you....  ;D

(scared to say we're coming)quote manics
Will be so nice to meet you Manics but you must promise to behave cos it looks like a real posh site

Not a posh site... a couple of our members have delusions of adequacy....  :-X

I promise, shirley, won't even put my smarties wellies on  ;D

Only Smarties have the answer..... to that one.....  :-*

If everones going Corny might have to make an effort, someone did say it was fancy dress didn't they.    :P       ;D ;D ;D

Maybe all of us who are going should arrange to meet at the samosa.....oop's sorry ;D,I mean tea tent at a certain time and introduce ourselves?

You'll easily recognise Kev cos he will have his striped boxers on with bum out

Crikey! :o ;D ;D ;D/ shades x

i think i might be a little shy for that

lbb

wow thats a fantastic looking allotment  ;D

Thanks folks... fancy dress is optional... the tea tent is right by the plant stall so it's just a matter of priorities...  :)
