I have won the local area best allotment cup for the third time.There are about 3000 allotments (only 20 or so went in for it but 3000 sounds better)
Eat your heart out Alan Titchmarshgrin

Wow - RESPECT to you Ronald (as my son would say). I shall know who to call on for allotment advice in future. smile

Well done, ronald. I found my allotment a peaceful place to be, perhaps because of the hard work but also because of the sense of achievement. A good achievement for you! Congrats.

Anyone who keeps an allotment going has my respec' too. It is one thing pottering around the garden and another getting down to the allotment and being organised.

Crikey Ronald! grin

Well in that case, do you do veg boxes? I'll have a weekly medium size, please! Congratulations ronald - it sounds like you deserved to win with that wonderful variety of produce. What a great way to provide your own home grown food.
