Hello bobbin, great you've joined the vine and good luck with your new lottie.

Got a shed on the lottie then?

Generally, for the ease of advice, it is good if we know roughly where you are, you can post this in the user cp at the top.

Welcome aboard bobbin. As lainey said, there's plenty of sad souls on here. Good luck, and be sure to add your location.

Enjoy.

Hi Bobbin, welcome to the vine.

Nope, your not sad I still get a buzz every time I take a cutting or plant some seeds it's just the digging that makes me feel feint

I am in a little village in West Sussex. Unfortunately no sheds allowed! The plot is 31ft by 24ft so not massive.By the way dim question but whats a user cp...(maybe it's because i'm a geordie too) Lovely welcome from all. I never knew gardening could be so rewarding in so many ways.

Default .............oh and another thing.

I am lucky as the water supply is on one corner of my allotment. So when all are backward and forward for water ,I shall use that precious time to drink a glass of something chilled and survey all before me!

Hi Bobbin, good luck with your new lottie, you'll soon find your way around the forum. User Cp is at the top of the page on the green menu bar, if you click on it, you can edit your profile that you filled out when you joined. It's under additional information, you can add your location i.e. West Sussex.
