Just got one.....
I have just become a very happy owner of an allotment...I am so happy I have purchased some seeds and will be indoor sowing them at the end of the month...
I have already got a shed and a greenhouse ( it came with the plot )we have cleaned up and are raring to go, its quite a large plot so we are going to plan where things will get planted we have a book which has given us ( Hubby that is ) alot of info
any one else to be a proud new owner or a first year maybe who can share ups and downs?

How great! I love planning the garden and starting seeds inside. I'm going to start some chili pepper plants here soon. Got some Calabrian dried peppers online a while back and will try to sprout some seeds.

We have a new block of land, but can't do anything with it for a few years. Have fun! And let us know how it goes.
