    Very long waiting list for allotments in some places - I'd like one too but no chance!

    if you are lucky enough to get an allotment they can be quite big and daunting. I thought this and got together with another family friend and we shared the workload and the produce, thus halving our family costs for seed and plants, but still having plenty of produce. four backs are better than one when it comes to turning over the soil!!!!!

    There is no better time than now to try for an allotment, if we don't use them we will lose them when every council is looking for unused land to build housing on. On 2 other websites I use people are complaining that their allotment land is at risk because of lack of users.
    Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

    could do C_Q - you don't need mush room for those! :D

    Sorry - that is supposed to be silly and not a dig at your lack of garden!
