How to stop your nuisance calls
Is anyone watching the programme on Channel 4 now on how to stop nuisance calls. It is very interesting. Watch on catchup if you get the chance.

Re: Sowed My Broad Beans Today
OOps never mind. I learnt to post a photo yesterday which took me forever and I have been on here since 2009. I am sure someone will do what you wish very soon. Anyway hope your garden is still looking good.

Re: Sowed My Broad Beans Today
Barney I am really glad to hear you are happy now that you have got some land to plant a veggie garden and look forward to seeing how you go on next summer. You must keep us posted.

Re: This is what I picked today
Thank you Monika yes I agree it is what allotments are about and even after fifteen years I still get a thrill from picking veggies and bringing it home and cooking. I love sowing seeds and transplanting them, my other half gets the joy !!! of planting out into the ground (something I dont really li...

I will top it with breadcrumbs and a bit of Parmesan cheese when we eat it. Made eig...

Re: Pa snip Information on Plot Cost size etc.
There doesn't seem to be any plot on the site that is a particular size. They all seems to be different shapes and sizes. Ours seems a nice shape looking at some of the others.

There is an allotment within driving distance but they, supposedly, have a waiting list. It is only a small allotment area but each plot is quite large. There is one which is just grassed over and no one is working it, but when I enquired about it I was told that that particular plot had been held f...

Re: Define 'Working the Plot'
We are having terrible problems with our allotments but I am loath to put anything on here in writing as I fear a backlash. If only I could. I did write some time ago that I was thinking of giving up after 15 years because of all the problems. I am still considering it. There is no use going to the ...
