Allotment Diaries

[Mr H]

Dear Mods.

I notice there are plenty of threads across the forum where members post regular updates about their own allotment. These are great for us newbies and I enjoy reading them. There doesn't seem to be a pattern though as to where these threads are posted and reading each forum description there doesn't seem an obvious one, at least not to me.

I know that moving all the existing threads into one section is too much work. So as I'm about to get my first allotment can you advise on where the best place for me to post "Mr H's Allotment" thread would be?

Thanks and keep up the great work.

Hi Mr H,

Unfortunately although we can move threads etc we can't make a new section for allotment diaries. It's a good suggestion though and I'll put it towards our tech guys to see if they could add another header.

For now I would put it in "On the plot -Vegging Out" section.
Good luck - looking forward to reading it

You could also start a blog and post it in there as well? This can be found on your profile page.

Thanks for the reply Scarlet.

Personally I'd find it easier if these types of threads were all in one place so I hope the tech guys come up trumps.

I'll follow your advice though and start mine as you suggest. Could be a week or so before I have anything meaningful to post, I was hoping everything could be finalised this coming weekend but looks like it will slip a week as the guy in charge of plot allocations isn't around this weekend.

I can only think of a few people who keep a regular "diary" of their own allotment.

Most of the posts are in the "What I did today" type of threads which prompt us into doing the same.

If you want a record of what you've done, with photos, Vegging out is probably the best place. If you have questions that you want answered, have a search, most of them will have been asked before!

Now why didn't I think of that, Scarlet? Great idea. Reminded me how to use [ url][ /url] tags too

Also.... if you subscribe to each thread you can save all the threads together in a folder which is then saved on your profile.

Go to your profile and in settings you can set up a folder in subscriptions titled allotments.

See my example - sorry. It's a bit squished as it's on my phone.



Click on thread tools and you can view your options.



The threads that you subscribe to will all be listed on your profile in your subscription folders. You can also set up alerts by email etc when they have been added too.

Edit: Just realised I can edit these and add more links rather than create a new post each time I come across one I want to add.

Duh. I will learn.
