Depending on where you are you might find that there is a wait of several years, or even a lifetime in London! Even if you are thinking of applying for one, get on and apply to get in the queue, then even if you decide when your name comes up that it isn't for you, you can decline.

If there is a waiting list,you could use the garden still. I use my garden,patio pots,beans on bamboo teepees,it all blends into the shrubbery & the plants are beautiful you can mix them amongst flowers such as marigolds. I like a garden with plants,fruit & veg flowers are very beneficial for bees in the area too. It's nice picking your sweetcorn & putting it into boil within 3 minutes of preparation,although I've heard some people take a pan of boiling water onto the allotments.Location : Essex

You could clear a section of the garden at the back and use it for veggies this season while you clear the section in front of it.
As you harvest in the autumn, replace the veggies with whatever you want and repeat as you go down the garden.
By the time you get to the area nearest the house you'll have cleared the weeds and improved the soil and you'll know where the damp/shady/stoney/windy areas all are. The garden your daughter ends up with will be so much the better for it with plants and shrubs in the places they like the best.
