Allotments in Warrington

[Alison]

Have chased up the council re the massive waiting lists and was told that I'm still 30 something on all the local allotment lists - not very good but have managed to persuade OH to let me grow some crops in the front garden also so long as they look a bit more tidy - am thinking of going for the 3 sisters thingy and a load of herbs this year but not sure what I can put in for the winter.

[Mrs Dobby]

Sorry to hear the waiting list is still so long Alison, have you thought about petitioning the council for more allotments? If theres 6 people who want one they have an obligation to provide them, perhaps ask around at various sites and see whether you can get 6 folks who want a plot together and see what you can do?

Good news about the front garden tho!

Have also been speaking to a woman from one of the Parish councils which is sounding a bit more promising. She's been far more helpful than the council and although she hasn't got any at the moment she has added me to 4 more lists and seems to think something may come up some time - haven't actually mentioned this to OH yet, will see what happens first but think he's coming around to the idea (is there a fingers crossed smillie?)

[Mrs Dobby]

Lol! You'll have to bring him over to our plot, show him how much funb it is and he'll be raring to go! Perhaps when we do the barbie we could take you down for a looksie?

Like that idea, he's getting into the harvesting side and is quite interested in the seedlings but has neither the patience of dexterity to do the fiddlly stuff.

[Mrs Dobby]

Lol! He'd have to learn! Mr D is very impatient, but he's having to learn patience, if it were up to him, we'd be harvesting all our crops now! Have had to try and reign him in a bit, he was about to plant 5 cucumber plants this afternnon when I got home!
