Well done Guys, consider this an e-hug

[Mrs Dobby]

Although I am a Newbie, and haven't corresponded with you before Shortie, I was pointed to this thread earlier today (as we may be geting our own allotment in the very near future), and got wrapped up in the story that has unfolded here! Just wanted to be amongst the first to say very well done indeed!!!! I am sooo pleased, and looking forwards to hearing all about it as you progress it forwards! Just hope we have as much luck as you have had!

[dexterdoglancashire]

Just thought of something shortie...now you can start your answers/threads with "Well the way I do it on my allotment is......."

Very gratifying
