OK, Steve its time to tell the truth.... you either have your bed in your Shed at the allotment or a gang of TV makover people. If you don't win a prize for best allotment in the UK then my names not.... Now what was my name???

Steve
Yet again I am mightily impressed at how neat, tidy and organised you and your plots seem to be - and you're not alone in sowing too many seeds and ending up with an excess of certain plants - I'm sure most of us are guilty of that one.
Jax - listen to the voices, they know your name

Thankyou Jaxom and Sewer Rat for your comments, I'd thought about moving home to the allotments it would be easier to look after them, but I don't think the OH would be very impressed, Steve.

Blimey Steve, this is an allotment plot right? It looks huge - have you got one plot or several plots joined together? Our council is a bit measly with our land it would seem!

Applause definately goes to you and your plot - it's immaculate Great idea about the online diary with photos too. I took on a plot in September with my OH, I say it was a plot when in fact it was a piece of land with 5ft tall nettles, weeds, bindweed, you name it and broken rubble, glass and pieces of metal on it. Completely transformed it but we've got a long way to go. When we've completely finished the greenhouse I'll have to get some before and after shots on the site. Should have kept a diary too really.

Well done again on your plot, it looks 'right grand' as they would say op North.

You never fail to impress - everything looks great and you obviously ain't short of room with all those plug plants as well as your veggies.

[STEVE PARTRIDGE]

Thanks Sewer Rat for your kind comments, I have got plenty of room usually but at this time of year I have to build makeshift coldframes to house all the plants in aswell as pray for no frosts, thanks Steve.

Hello Steve, thank you so much for the time you take to share your allotment with us. Can't actually think of the appropriate words for what I want to say but what a wonderful effort and stupendous results. Just a masterpeice of its kind. You must be very proud.

[STEVE PARTRIDGE]

Thankyou Alice for your nice comments, I do enjoy it when others appreciate my efforts to share the experiences of my allotment, they help me feel that much needed feeling of self-worth, thankyou Steve.

Great site, you must spend all your time there. Not a thing out of place and not a weed in sight. Wish i could say the same about mine but yours gives me something to strive towards. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Wow Steve! Your plots look great!

I see you are a chef as well, what fun you must have with all the good tasting veg you grow instead of that rubbish they sell in the supermarket!

Take care!
