Great Excitement - The Long Wait Is Over

[ChrisB]

Yup - you've guessed it, I've got an allotment

Went to see it this evening and nearly bit the secretary's hand off.

Hoping the shed will be left (be great if the previous owner left the rotavator too!!!!), just needs a quick once over on most of it with a rotavator or fork and I'll be planting.

You really don't get much luckier than this

Really got to get my head round the planning bit now

[Snadger]

Congratulations ChrisB! Just in time for the planting season as well! Take some photies as-is and you can then have something to look back on when you get it the way you want it!

Well done Chris. I bet you can't wait.

[Hazel at the Hill]

Well done - exciting, ain't it! Pics for sure, please, CB, and do let us know how you get on!

[ChrisB]

Come rain hail or snow, even if I only manage to get one square foot dug, I'm planting something this weekend.

Photos will follow, but the difference between now and later certainly won't be as spectacular as some I've seen on here, as it really is in fairly good condition.

[HappyMouffe]

Great news, Chris - it'll be worth the wait you've had.

[Alice]

Congratulations Chris B. I hope it brings you every pleasure.

One thing I've learned on the Vine is the generosity of the grapes - our 'umble plot was in fine nick when we took it over (just a few annual weeds) and I know how fortunate we've been compared to those who really do GYO against the odds - but nonetheless I've had nothing but encouragement from all here.

Mind you, they probably all talk about me behind my back.

Yay!

ChrisB!

Congratulations on getting your plot.

Exciting (and back-breaking) times ahead I'm sure.

Happy planting.

Blessed be.

Lucky you! Well done. Enjoy yourself at the weekend.

[Nicos]

Supposed to be good weather this weekend too!
Great news!

[Flummery]

I know you'll have LOADS of fun. And as to the digging, well heck, it's cheaper than a gym - and a lot more satisfying. You've got good meals to look forward to at the end.
