Jerry i think yours is a brilliant allotment, would you like me to send you some weeds as you don't seem to have very many. 
Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

Thanks Guys.
The Blog is not that hard to do, and it is free. I had to fiddle around a bit but now no real effort.
Following Steve's videos I have had a go this morning:
No idea if this will work very well but here goes.
Took the camera to the plots this morning and decided to try a video rather than pictures. The quality is not great but see what you think! I will be moving the files to my Blog and there will also be another update soon, maybe today if I get time.
Clicking on these links should open up a browser and you can then click on the video to run it. There is sound too as well:
Plot 2, taken on just over a year ago:

Plot 1, now into the third season:

Hope you can see something!

Jerry, how big are each of your plots?
How big is the site and what is its occupancy level?
Nice film.

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

My first plot is about 10 rod I beleive, though the bottom third is very very shaded so not really used that much other than for compost dins and storage.
The second plot is a bit awkward on sizing as it is trangular, if square it would be about the same size as the first plot. However this is totally open and not a lot of shade anywhere.
Occupancy level is normally at close to 100% and we have a waiting list. There are 3 plots at the moment that are fully paid up but little is being done on them other than grow weeds, I believe letters are due out very soon to them.
As to number of plots, it is about 65 I beleive.
