Visiting Allotments....

I have been in touch with a chap from our local allotments and I am going to see him and the allotments on Thursday afternoon. Apparently there are 5 empty plots (of various sizes / condition), so I hope to find one thats just right!

Thanks again Mysteryjimbo for putting me in touch with him.

If I get it I will take pics and then try to figure out how to attach 'em :oops:

Off to see my possible first allotment tomorrow - getting quite excited :oops: -

As a rule of thumb, how long do you think I will have to wait before I will be allowed to work on the plot (assuming I 'take it' tomorrow)

soon as you have signed on the dotted line and you have a key,
take your spade with you tomorrow you never know

we went to see the lady at the village post office to enquire about an allotment, she took us straight up there, signed the agreement, and we were doing stuff the same day!

we met the parish clerk at the allotments, chose which one we wanted, signed, gave him £26, then he gave us the key, then left us to get on with it. Took about 10 minutes. We even had tools left for us by the previous owner in the hut on the plot.

It was all a bit daunting really, within 10 minutes we had aquired 250 sq yards that needed digging :shock: !
