Now I can grow more than rice

After finding half my allotment under water most weekends for the past 3 months, I rang the council to see what my options were. They said they would be prepared to improve the drainage but that I could swap for a plot further up the slope.

Still gets wet but doesn't get waterlogged. It's also slightly bigger, flat and has been cultivated recently so not too much work to catch up.

It does mean I've lot all the time and cost I'd put into the other one but a better deal all round.

I think that's a result. I had a problem with drainage until recently- my polytunnel and bottom part of the plot would be under water whenever it rained. The council purchased the drainage pipe, stone etc and with the help of some other plot holders we got the drain in at the end of last year- seems to be great now but I know how frustrating it can be.

Will they allow you a year or two worth of use on the other one?
No harm in asking!
.....later crop, but if it''s a drought year you might well be glad you asked!
