Getting an allotment!

[Guest]

Hi everyone!
I am soon to get an allotment! My friend introduced me to the idea, as she has one. We (and our other halves) have both hankered after the idea of a smallholding for ten years, but it was not going to happen, so here we are! Can't wait to get going! Roll on Monday when I can phone the council 8)

G'Da Isabella,

That's great news! I do all of my stuff in the backyard - It's sueprising how much you can accomplish!

Welcome to the site!

Hi Isobella & Welcome

Have you got an allotment or have you got to apply for one. Hope there isn't a waiting list.

Whereabouts are you?

Welcome Isobella,

Fingers crossed for your allotment!

What have you got planned to grow in it?

Hi all and thanks for the welcome 8) We have got TWO allotments! There were a few available, no waiting list, and we signed up on Monday! We are growing (hopefully) potatoes, carrots, all the usual veg, plus putting up a greenhouse and we can have chickens, perhaps only a few (three or four) are best.
The plots are seriously neglected at the moment, so lots of hard work clearing them first - they are right nxt to each other so like one big plot!

Hi Isabella, Congratulations on the allotments. Where do you live? There is a huge waiting list where I stay.
