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.

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?

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
