What type of allotmentier are you?

Snadger - sounds great - photos??!!

Muckdiva - well done you, you have every right to feel smug me thinks!!

Me - well, ermmm, shall we not go there?! Always go to the plot with a firm plan of which job is to be done or else it'll be more of a potter, look at the wildlife, see what everyone else is up to. When the job's done, or half done, then I can get sidetracked ... since I've only had a lottie for a few months there's plenty to sidetrack me (who said there are plenty of jobs as well!?!). Can't really have a vino - despite inheriting an old picnic table affair (the type with a table in the middle and a bench attached to each side) because I have to drive home and even though its only five minutes .... so I do that in the garden instead. Oh, and the poor garden ... I really must stop ignoring that in favour of the lottie!!!

Actually, there's nothing in our rules about picnic tables, so that might be a good idea once I get the veg growing bit in order!! But I'd still be inclined to do the wine drinking at home as we have a nice little garden and have to drive home.

I'm of the wine drinking brigade, I don't have any garden at all so my allotment is my garden and love being able to sit outside and soak up the sun if there's any going. I've got a big flower border so I can grow all my favourite scented flowers and my allotment is laid out with raised beds so it looks more like a garden.

Most people on my allotment live on either of the closeby estates, I don't so it's a bus ride for me so don't tend to pop down for an hour or two, as it's a bit of an expedition I go for the whole day.

I know some of the others laugh at me as they can see me sitting in my deckchair reading but am actually working (review books for a living) so an ideal day at the allotment was like today. A day of pottering, doing jobs, a long lunch and a good book and that glass of wine. Even got a sun tan today

I'm a new allotmenteer and just getting the over grow plot into shape and now starting to look like an allotment, so most my time is digging and tidying up after myself at the moment.
When it’s all planted up and growing loads of veggies and the long summer evenings are in,
I will probably sit on the plot with a glass of wine and admire my work
