Allotment versus Home Alone....

It's a funny thing -  I KNOW I am priviledged to own my own garden (and a few acres of trees & field) but I also feel a little envious of those of you who garden on allotments....  I would just love the chance to look over someone's shoulder to see what everybody else is planting now!!!

On the other hand when I try something experimental - there's no-one to notice when it doesn't work!  

I wonder how it all weighs up on balance.  What do you think?

Ps The best bit of 'home alone' gardening has got to be the ability to wander out into the garden on a summer morning, mug of coffee in hand while still in my PJs !!! & there's no-one to notice.

There's a lot of virtual shoulders here to look over  

Thanks!

I've just followed your link and seen your photos.... including the cute baby clothes!  (My youngest is 10.... ! )

I guess that is why I'm here!  I'm hoping you'll all keep me right.....  

 

Yep, mel is right, this is your new virtual allotment!  

The only thing we can't actually share is a nice cup of coffee, but like you, I am on my own with my garden patch, and although I do have an OH, I try to ignore him because he actually knows less than he thinks, and last year to shut him up, I planted everything closer than they should be and got bonsai of all my brassicas.  My brussels were were marbles!!!! So now I just say yes dear and carry on as I feel, and if I have a problem, I come up here to my computer and ask the experts!!!!

i reckon the lottiements come first afore any blinking soaps  :roll:

HI SALLY,both options have their own merit,but the lottie for me is a social thing,however there are times when i want to get on and dig somebody else wants to talk.
