After quite a while waiting, I have finally been offered an allotment.
It isnt on the site I wanted, but having visited it, I am not disappointed.
It's a small site with 9 full allotment plots, although 2 of these have been made into half plots and it's one of these half plots I have been offered.
On my visit there, I got talking to the guy who has the adjacent allotment, he was very keen to show me how good the soil is on the plot and it turns out he has been using it for a while, whilst it was ownerless - so luckily for me there won't be too much digging.
Now is the quandry of how to move forward, I wasn't really expecting to get offered an allotment this summer, so have no plans.
I do have some pumpkins, runner beans, peas, corn, beetroot and leeks ready to be planted on, but I am unsure whether to just leave it at this for now and concentrate on other things, such as erecting a shed, compost bins, water saving, beds, etc.
I guess I will have to talk to my brother-in-law who I am sharing the plot with and move on from there, I most certainly will be a regular on this part of the forums though, so expect an abudence of questions soon.
I know this thread isn't really asking anything in particular, but I really wanted to share my good news
