Sorry to hear that, was this an intentional trashing or the neglectful/incompetent kind?

All my plants are in the ground, otherwise I'd send you something. Sorry.

I might have a few spare bits and bobs - pepper and chilli plants, a few cos lettuces, salad leaves and some swedes? Dunno how I'd get em to you, unless you can wait til Bernie comes over in a few weeks, she could fetch them back for you mebbe?

ETA I could pot some srawberry runners for you over the summer as well?

Hi, sorry to hear what has happened. I Have got some Turnips, beetroot and Parsnips that I need to thinning out, probably beginning of the week (big family BBQ this sunday) Your more than welcome to them, as i have so many. Also have 2 spare red cabbages that I haven't got room for.

Sorry to hear of the plot problems, wish we could help, but everything is in the ground already! May be up to coming n giving you a lift doing some sorting planting tho, if you can use someone with a bad case of sciatica and if I can drive the car without too much pain! Let me know, ok?

that's rotten, sorry to hear that,
i don't have any young plants, just had a look through my seeds, only ones i've got that are still plantable are lettuce and courgette, which you're more than welcome to have.

You have my sympathy. I share an allotment with others. I took over my shared bit recently from a lady who had a spat with one of the others and there were some dirty tricks which eventually trailed off - this mainly took the form of leaving the gate open to let the rabbits in though - we know it was this person as she was 'seen' by our neighbours! We coined the phrase 'allotment rage'. Who would think allotment growing could raise such passions! I'm sorry I can't help with the plants or seeds this year but wish you well.

Hi - coming to this discussion very late in the day as I am new to the site and reading through various threads!

I hope you have managed to sort out some decent stuff. Its too late for me to be able to offer plants, however I can probably sort you out with a reasonable selection of seeds if they would be of any use?

Regards,

Alan
