    Take it and don't bother! This is not a mistake of your making. You will have to dig/weed again but you get a larger plot!

        You should be there too, get it all out in the open. Nobody needs to lay blame or start shouting, just make sure that your side of the story is given, fairly and properly so there're no further "misunderstandings" (mismanagements) in the future

          I'm not judging him at all. I know how much hard work goes into gardening and thats why I was very hesitant to start work on there at the beginning. I'd be equally shocked/cross if I'd rocked up to my patch after being ill and found it empty of veg and dug over. I'm just hoping that he'll calm down and see the positives (all the hard work done and ready for planting).

            i'm going to drop the tatties of and leave a letter in the sack - I dont want to meet him face to face at the moment as I'm rubbish at confrontation. I either cry or get very cross back. There is someone I know but I dont think they know each other, which is maybe a good thing. Glad I didn't put the garlic in yesterday now!!

              While I can fully understand how the chap feels and put myself in his position,I would be fuming too, but not at you, you did what you did in good faith. It must be very upsetting for both of you, The only wrong done here is the incompetent management that allowed this situation in the first place. You both have a grievence with the comitee, and it is up to them to sort things out to both your satisfaction. Dont feel guilty but do stand firm with the Manager. I am sure the other guy will see it this way too once he has cooled down and as said, hopefully a year from now you will both be able to look back and see the ludicrous side of this. Whatever else happens, I hope this hasnt dampened your enthusiasm for having your own plot.
              Seasons greetings to you and yours.

                Contractually Lizzie. You are the new owner of the allotment.

                Please do attend the meeting or explain to the previous tenant, committee or council what has happened.

                I would not like to see you disadvantaged by the situation. Technically they will have to ask you to surrender your agreement to enable the previous tenant to resume occupation. I would advise you only to do so if you are happy with the new outcome they are suggesting.

                Good luck........and I hope too that this unfortunate incident has not dampened your enthusiasm for allotmenteering.

                Loving my allotment!

                  Oh Lizzie! What a Mix up! I'm sure the guy wont blame you at all - you're giving him his potatoes after all so he hasnt lost out.

                  Chin up and take the other allotment instead - I know its disheartening to have done all that work and for nought but at least you havnt planted anything....

                  Surely one of the committee could have dropped round to his house to check up on him???
