Well done Kate, Im glad another person has managed to get an allotment. I'm so lucky where we are - no waiting list and vacant plots so was able to get one straight away, that was 4 years ago and I love it! I hope you love it as much as I love mine.
Hello Kate, I read your blog with interest as I have taken on a partly established allotment whilst neighbours are abroad.
It's been going for a year with reasonably worked soil so peas, beans potatoes, sweet corn grow well. Soft fruit, green house and a shed. All completely new to me - love it!
I have a free hand with an extended half plot which I'm clearing at the moment, it's on clay with thin top soil. Hard work especially with this wet weather again. As it's in a good open part thereof plan is to get marrows going. Needless to say I'm reading every blog and advice from all threads.
Hi guys. I run a regular gardening blog where you can pick up plenty of tips and ideas. I exhibit at shows but everything I grow gets eaten! Take a look and hopefully enjoy!

So - how's it going Kate?
