It looks great - as long as you can grow stuff in it, what it looks like is pretty irrelevant
LOVE growing food to eat in my little town back garden. Winter update: currently growing overwintering onions, carrots, lettuce, chard, salad leaves, kale, cabbage, radish, beetroot, garlic, broccoli raab, some herbs. -
Not according to at least one local councillor who lives on the road behind the plot. 'Soweto shanty town' I've been told he muttered. My plot is the weirdest looking one (of those that are properly worked). (Maybe that's why I joined the committee)
Ha.

Most of the dog walkers seem to like it - our site sits in the middle of a field - dog walkers go round the outside.
Nice way of meeting people - and now with my greenhouse contraption I can hide away if I'm feeling anti-social.
Some people join local councils to help the community, some to help themselves..sigpic

Everyone has at least one shanty corner don't they? Both my plots have them - piles of carpet I've dug up and need to take to the tip (except now they are full of red ants), bags of rubbish found in thee undergrowth, old staging, blue pipe hoops etc plus that uncultivated corner that looks to be too much of a PITA to clear and so is now defined as 'wildlife corner'.http://mudandgluts.com - growing fruit and veg in suburbiaComment

You'll notice its been given a lick of paint - blue doors and black and white sides - it helps it blend inOriginally posted by Cadalot View Post so perhaps you didn't spot it next to the GH?

Nothing wrong with your plot. I think it looks pretty good

I can't lay claim to any weird and wonderful buildings ( I was about to write another perfectly correct word there but it sounded rude) on my lottie. We aren't allowed sheds,polytunnells
Greenhouses. However I still laugh about the number of pieces of tights I've unearthed when digging over the soil in the first couple of years! The lady before me must have tied everything on her allotment with them. There's something unsavoury about digging up tights Euww.
We do however have a beach hut (on the coast not my lottie) the contract for that stipulates you can't perform "lewd acts in it" !!!
No I haven't before you ask!Comment

I totally would. ....
If only because they said not to....

Good to see you have the added security to prevent those pesky unwanted babies/toddlers from straying in........because you're thinking of putting the kettle on and making a pot of tea perhaps, you old weirdo. (Veggie Chicken - 25/01/18)

That's what Lottie's are all about, doing your own thing, the quirky British way. I haven't got an allotment, my garden is plenty big enough for me to cope with, but my late father-in-law had one complete with shed, carpeted, arm chairs and a step make from a scullery sink turned upside down now in my garden planted with alpines, we loved going there.Comment
