surferdog Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 OH pestered the council again today about the allotment. They told him we are now third on the list for our preferred site! There are over 100 plots and last year there were about 40 people before us so won't be long now! So excited!! Now need to practice catching chickens so they can come help with the digging.

Redwing Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Cool! I am sure the hard work of last year will have put some people off and they won't return to their plot in spring so quite a few may come up then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara.F Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 congratulations It might be worth starting some things off now so you have plants ready to go in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Fingers crossed that you don't have to wait for long. As Tara says - it might be a good idea to start growing things ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surferdog Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Will be starting some stuff off in greenhouse this weekend. Just need to tread a fine line between what I can accomodate in the garden to avoid lots of waste! Wasted a lot of plants last year because overestimated what would fit in a few pots (and you can get an amazing amount from a few pots). I do have my linkabord beds coming though so can fill those up if allotment doesn't materialise this spring. I've dug out all my veg books and will be definitely be having a look at MoreVeg as recommended on here..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 we got an old plastic dust bin off freecycle to grow our spuds in last year, that freed up space in the veggie plot and it worked really well. hope you get your lottie soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
