Post by Dannie - frustrated at not getting a plot

You're lucky to actually be on a list!  All the allotments lists round us are closed.   

Actually I'm not sure that we could cope with a full size allotment, but we're currently buying a house with a nice big back garden - not even managed to get to the far end when we viewed as it's a bit of a jungle!     I foresee some of the lawn disappearing to raised beds maybe...  It's going to be a bit of a culture shock, as we currently live in a terraced house with a small back yard, but we've managed tomatoes and courgettes in pots the last couple of years, and potatoes in bags last year (though didn't get a very good crop of potatoes, think I planted them too late).
