How Long do you spend on your plot?

Oooh, interesting question, and answers!

I have a half-plot, and at the moment spend about 6 hours a week on it, though when I first got it in May I was there for about 20 hours a week for the first few weeks! My main issue was that I was training for my first triathlon, so found that I was having to 'steal' plot time from training time - and let's face it, I'd far rather go digging than running! Now I've done the race so can dedicate more time to the plot when I need to (although I've just entered another event in October!).

Anyway, I get to the plot for an hour or two 2-3 nights a week, and for most of the day either Saturday or Sunday (and sometimes both). I'm always amazed how slowly my weeds seem to grow (sorry, I'm not bragging!   ) as I go up there expecting forests and there are very little. Just goes to show that a little and often works.

we spend as many hours over there as we can, rain or shine, hot or cold, wet or dry, sober or  :oops:  and its still not enough!     there is always a job that you can do to make the plot nicer
we have had our allotment for 10 years or so and are learning from neighbours who have just started as well as the old 'uns (though thats us now i suppose :oops:  :oops: )
some people may think we need to get a life but in our eyes we have
(ps ive just started the 1st day of a 5 week holiday  by spending the whole day in glorious sunshine weeding my parsnips (ready for Christmas dinner) spotting our first ripening tomato, picking runner beans, french beans, lettuce, spring onion, beetroot, carrots and digging potatoes and getting in a tin bath of water to freshen up and OH picked me up and brought me home as well as picking gherkins which i have recently pickled and having pilchard salad in a moment so i am biased     )

oh we watered our veggies and flowers  too!
if that aint heaven .... i dont wanna go there!

I'm normally there everyday and spend approx 2 hours there,sometimes longer if time permits.To be honest you could stay all day but you have to walk away (theres always something to do).
Winter time i still try to go everyday,even if its just a quick look in just to check things are secure etc.

what a good question well its made me think you dont realise where the time goes till you actually stop and think about it...
been in and out of garden/veg plot, all day started at 9am and i think ive had enough for today i am quite lucky though for many reasons
over hear we dont have any allotments but i have a massive garden which i have dedicated an area for purley "my allotment area" so i dont have to travel to tend my plot   also the weather, i am of course blessed with nearly all year round sinshine but that does mean i water 24 7
i reckon in a week i spend at least 8 to 15 hours a week xx
