LOOKS LOVELY!

do the old boys grumble that you shouldn't grow flowers on an allotment? Mine do. Until I point out that my flowers feed the bees that pollinate their crops

Wow!

A lot of the allotment holders (the old boys) grow flowers on the plots as well as veg.

I've got a few pots down on mine but these are refugees from OH's garden. I have too much work to do developing the plots at present but must admit my plans are to have flowers all along the front apron by the footpaths.

That looks beautiful! Must lift your heart every time you see it!

What a picture. Well done. Looks beautiful.

Wow, that looks fab!

Yes I get that down on the first lottie, but on the second (still a work in progress....) I think I've got everyone's full support on growing my flowers. Apparently the chap before me burnt down the shed, plum tree and pulled up the flowers etc that were there when he took it on, and everyone around me keeps whistfully commenting on how "ol Jack's" plot used to be so lovely with the plum tree and flowers. Yeeeeaaaaa, so you won't mind me having a few patches with flowers then?
