Well I've actually got one
After going on the list in July last year and was number 32 on the list
This week i got the nod and got the keys today and it was only in March when i contacted them again that i was told i was 12th in line
Had a choice of 3 plots ...... 2 Half plots or a full one
It wasn't hard because it was always going to be a full one
The half plots were in better condition but and better positioned but i had my sights on a full plot from the start
Unfortunately i am on nights this week and am itching to get started
I don't have much choice in the type of planting as the area is prone to slight flooding so 18" raised beds it is
There is a shed on the plot but i went straight through the floor when i walked in and the walls are not much better
I will post some pics when i get chance
There are some trees on the plot which i think are fruit trees but as yet this year there doesn't seem to be any fruit on them only leaves so i will get some photo's for identification if anyone can help
Also on the plot there are some Spuds allready in and onions not far off ready to crop
Other than an old wheel barrow there isn't much else
We are alowed fences upto 3' high and they all need replacing so i will be off to the builders yards next week for some old pallet boards
Can't wait to get started it is well overgrown but looks like with mainly grass so i will be getting on with the raised beds and a little weeding and grass cutting then it will be on with the fences and a shed
Can't Wait to get stuck in and even the OH is keen to get started
Ho did i say i can't wait if not IIIIII CCaaaaannnnntttt Waaaiiitttt
