Help me make my mind up ...

[nick the grief]

Come on Grapes, I need to make my mind up. After 12 months of no lottie plot I've been cajoled into taking one on again, and I have to say I have missed going down there. trouble is I've got two choices now

1. One of the guys who's got a double plot has offered to let me have a chunk at the top of his big enough for a raised bed and a 20 x 10 ploytunnel
2. or I had a letter off one of the committee guys saying as of March he was giving up his plot as he was moving.

So what do I do now! If it's the one I think it is he's got about half of it to soft fruit so I'd end up with a bit more plot to look after but I'd sort of decided that I'd have enough with the 1st option but this would mean I could have a bit more and could grow some of my chrysanths and dahlia's on there as well as the other stuff.

I really can't make up my mind as to what to do so come try and talk me round ...

Personally I would go with the second plan. Your own plot, no sharing, less hassle.

[SunnyU]

I would go for the second option too - and then it's up to you how much of the plot you want/can make use of

[Two_Sheds]

I agree with Fi.

But also look at which is the more favourable plot, sunlight-wise

[Bren In Pots]

Take the second plot because it will be all yours, then if you find you don't need all that space could you offer half to someone starting out.

not much in it TS they are only about 30ft apart but option 2 is in whats called the warm corner.

As to the sharing option - thats not a problem as I get on really well with the chap who made the offer - I usually go down and sit in his greenhouse and drink tea Not so bothered about the extra ground but the fruit is tempting and I could have a bigger tunnel

[weekendwellies]

I would go for the 2nd option, purely so I would have my own plot, regardless of how well you get on with the option 1 guy. You can still go have a brew with him.
Plus I like the fruit thing. And if tunnels are your thing then surely bigger is better?

[Eco-Chic]

Could you manage both?

I would go for the second option and then i could nip round and nick some of your soft fruit when you have got to much with your permission of course...jacob

... but the fruit is tempting and I could have a bigger tunnel

As you told me shortly after I joined, NEVER big enough! (got a second grennhouse now btw) so has to be second option!

good to see you again!

See folks think I don't know what I'm on about

I could manage two but it would severely limit my time with other things ( photography, Birdwatching, slobbing around) so I don't want the two, besides I'll have a fair bit at home to look after as well.

Jacob, If I get it you are more than welcome to have a sit in the shed with a steaming hot brew

Well I'll have a wander down and have a look at it and see the secretary and put my name on it I think ... hang on, that's me !!

I can always fill it with flowers if I don't want to grow veggies

[Eco-Chic]

I think you'd subconsciously already made up your mind to take the 2nd plot by the time you posted your opening question.

[Nicos]

If I were you, I'd go for the second option too - and ask Santa for a polytunnel!!

Glad to see you still have the bug !

[Dane End Dolly]

def the 2nd option, more scope for what you want to do

[rustylady]

Second option definitely. All your own - the best of friends can become enemies when forced to share things. ENJOY!!
