That's great to hear Blue Belle.
Took over our plot back in March...have been used to having a garden''on tap'' as it were>
The plot has not been looked after for almost seven years, so work to do but so enjoyable.

I m not new but have had one about five or six years I love it and will be going tomorrow for a few hours I can’t manage more than about 3 hours with a fifteen minute walk each way
So far I ve got runner beans, peas, potatoes, board beans, courgettes cucumbers, squash, purple sprouting broccoli, spring onions, a big strawberry patch, lots of herbs a lavender bush, rhubarb gooseberry bush all on the go
I have some seeding aubergine and cauliflower starting so will see if they come to anything
Got some kale, carrots and chard yet to go in

ALL allotmenteers.

Sadly not, I had mine when I was 50 and had to give it up eleven years later when we started to live in Françe part time. I still miss it, good luck.

Yes, there is someone on GN who I believe obtained one quite recently but I can’t remember their user name. I’m sure someone will be along soon to enlighten you though.

I am an old allotmenteer in both senses so not much help I'm afraid.

Wondering if there are any relatively new allotment holders around.

Although having had a large garden in the past, I have recently managed to obtain an allotment and am enjoying it immensly
