OK, so, new lotty and we headed to the garden centre 'just for a look' £70 later and we have amongst others an apple tree, fig tree, cherry tree, redcurrant and blackcurrant bushes....oh and we went on to B&Q and picked up a greenhouse...damn...money spent.... lol!!

[Lady Lottie]

Well, I'd have to agree but only in terms of time spent on this forum and with my head in various vegetable growing books and of course time on the plot - if I had the money though - I'd def be spending it!!!

H*ll - there's worse things to be addicted to right?

(I want a cherry tree too... )

[mickwood]

'If I had the money'.....

If I had the money also!! I just got lost in the 'yeah, that'd be good...oh and that' 
lol!!

[peterjf]

lottys adictive , yes yes yes , we buy greenhouses from freecycle and local evening paper £50-00 maximum,

fruit trees from aldi or netto £4-00 each as are black, red, white currants,

[celjaci]

Regarding spending - just think about the returns,all that fruit!

Allotments can also be addictive in regard to time   '' just popping down to see how the ( ) is doing.......'' can lead to a 3 hour stint. But again there are plenty of worse things to spend time on.

my daughter would beg to differ with you on that point as she is the one literally left holding the baby when I indulge my addiction over the weekends!!  but not in the week, then I take bubs with me!

If anyone 'phones for me and DS says I'm not in they automatically say 'Oh, is she on the plot then'. Me, predicatable, never 
I have to go and check my plants daily - that is my excuse and I'm sticking to it

BUY from Freecycle???

i know what you mane DD,, but you would be surprised how many folk offer money for stuff advertised for free,, I use freecycle alot and have been offered money several times, I always refuse but as i have kids some folk will kindly give the kids something instead,,  as i live in a small village opposite the church i now suggest thet they give any money to the church or the village hall/kids club which are all run from donations fundraising events ect..
