Congratulations, what a wonderful surprise to find there is no waiting list.

I've had mine 3 years now and I love it, and yesterday I saw that "my" frogs have returned to mate in my pond.

Woopwoop. Quick work BB . Ours was covered in weeds this time last year. It doesn't take long to get at least something growing. Sounds like you may need to get something to collect the wet stuff in .

[bigbeefy]

pies ty for the link will have a look at that later

binley i have a 1000ltr ibc to collect and take up there just need to sort a shed out i have 3 sides so need to find/build a forth side

oh and a roof and a floor and a door lol

[binley100]

oh and a roof

Lol it might help with the collecting of the wet stuff.

[elsie-scot]

yeh great news hope you like tatties if you are planting so many!

[Nykied]

BB, I hate you. Just joking, but you're seriously lucky! I called at my local one yesterday (I've already put my name on the list - I'm 10th) only to find that only one plot's going to be available this time. That will make me 9th on the list.

I'm soooooo jealous but good luck with it

Up at our site they're opening up an area of allotments that hasn't been used for years. There will be about 35 plots some full and some half. At the mo there's 42 on the waiting list .
