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.

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.

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.

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...

Thank you for the lovely comments. Today I made a veggie bake with some of the caulis, broccoli, carrots, onions, courgettes (very last of) , leeks and a cheesy sauce with added dijon mustard, low fat cheese, herbs. I will top it with breadcrumbs and a bit of Parmesan cheese when we eat it. Made eig...

Thank you Pa Snip I have taken all evening to work it out from printed off instructions from Alan's information. Thank you Alan. Now I want to put some pictures of our allotment on here.

My goodness I posted a photo there is no stopping me now

picked veggies.jpg Today I went up to our allotment and picked a little bit of everything. We still have quite alot to pick yet. The caulis and broccoli are late sowings and next year (if possible) I will do the same. This year it has worked for us. We still have half a dozen broccoli heads to pick...

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.

OH mmmm not sure it makes my OH smile at times (despair) but I know what you mean.

Pa Snip I have listed below what we pay as I wasn't sure your poll wouldn't disappear. Council run. We have two half (called on our allotment starter plots) plots of 50sq mtrs each(according to my OH) We pay £22.00 per plot, two lots of water rates £8 each plot (£16) The attached plot to us is exact...

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...

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 ...

Pa Snip I was really glad to hear your updated info.

You are such a positive person and I am glad you have been given extra time for you and Mrs Pa Snip

I know from experience how supportive this forum is when you are having a tough time.

Keep fighting all the way. Very Best wishes to you both
