    Ginagibbs that is a brilliant pond - thanks for the pictures really helps seeing it, like the plants around the pond and the stones very pretty bit of your allotment. cute dog

    Rosemummy go talk to the person in charge say you would like that plot sometimes if you are on a site you get the plot before the waiting list people do - know it is cheeky that way - you may as well ask no harm in doing so

    some of my seeds are germinating which is great

    Thanks garden girl, I phoned yesterday, it's gone image though the lady was very helpful and said they'd look at splitting more plots if that's what people wanted, that one was great for me as it was near the road and the shop, I want to meet other gardeners (and I have carpal tunnel and (early onset i might add!!!) painful arthritis in my hands, son the less distance I have to lug stuff about the better) wish I'd asked before we gave up our plot, oh well, things happen for a reason, we'll get one that's right for us when the time's right for us, may be better when my 3 year old goes to pre school

    Rosemummy shame hope another plot comes up in similar place, do you know if you are still number 30 on the list and how long off the wait might be?

    GWRS how many chick pea seeds did you sow to get a bowl or two worth? how many chick peas per a plant are they like peas?

    not sure gg, maybe it depends if they split some plots

    Gardengirl , you only get one chick pea pet pod but you do get lots on a bushy stem , can't really remember how many you get 

    However , have now got some and will definitely be growing them again , I will keep a proper record and we can compare results image

    In garden today lovely and sunny but an icy wind , having coffee break at moment ☕️?
