| I won't be suggesting it to our site rep. We'd probably only win a booby prize as so much has been uncultivated for so long. Good luck to any who enter and lets have some photos to inspire us all.

| I forwarded it to the team that manage Traffords allotments, all 34 sites, in the hopes that they may have at least one site that could possibly do something, ours unfortunately has far too many that havent yet been sorted after laying fallow for a year or so!

| They got the people from our local Allotments Group to judge it. Unsuprisingly the Judges Voted for their own sites....They used some of our Photos on the show but not our site.
