    Wow! It's looking incredible. I'll have to take my camera up next time it's not bogging down!

  • Hi Sandra! Yeah! Honking it down up here too, which is olding me back slightly. Managed to get my first n second early potatoes in back end n beggining of this week, but have two tray's of maincrop I need to get in, n the forcast ain't looking too good for the next few day's either! But hey! Let's be glad of the wet stuff all things concidered!

    Wow your allotment looks fab!! We got our about 4/5 weeks ago and have a few bits planted so far. U look like u have spent a fair bit on it! I am trying to be a budget allotmenteer so we tend to use what we have so far. It's great though isn't it. I enjoy it so much. Trying to keep the kids interested so they each have a raised bed. Only prob we hav so far is weather and those pesky birds!!!!! Everything covered with net. Going down there today to set up some sort of scarer! Happy gardening!

    Hi AllotmentMax! 

    Yeah! Got mine at the beginning of the year, I say mine! but share it with a good friend, and believe it or not, up to press we have both had about £200 each in it! n the best part of that was in the 4 ton of gravel n the 4 ton of top soil we had delivered, n the rest like the shed, fencing, planting boxes n raised beds were begged n borrowed from various places. (We are both lorry drivers) So we, like yourself, are trying to apply the mend n make do approach! n yeah! It is great! Hard work! But I love it!! and with planting time just around the corner (Being in West Yorkshire, it's slightly colder up here) I can't wait!!! Good luck with yours! n above all else, Enjoy!!
