Double plot? Lucky thing! I've just got half a plot - technically it's not mine till the end of the month - and I can already see that I'll be waiting for someone to give up so I can have a full one.

hi flummery,yes very lucky,1 plot is aprox 20 x 130 ish foot,so double that,we took on two different plots this year so they are together,much easier ,we put a path up the centre,it's my second home or should i say first,
