    Nothing yet Skint..I didn't take it over until March and am still clearing it whilst trying to keep on top of the weeds of the bits ive cleared, whilst planting as I go. I have so far planted, Potatoes, Runner Beans, Peas, beetroot, Carots, Lettuce, Spring Onions and Rhubarb. I also have ready to plant out some courgette, cucumber and sweetcorn....its very time consuming and I have spent hours and hours but on a nice summers evening I love it!

    Snags, sounds like it was a good date!!! Has he mentioned another date, or when he might call??

    We've been in touch quite a bit today, and we are trying to arrange something. He's invited me to a wedding in August!! :D

    The allotment sounds brilliant, I'd love to plant my own fruit and vegetables. I have a few strawberry plants and a little herb garden, but when I move, I will definitely plant more.

    I would love a big garden so I don't have to leave and keep going backwards and forwards. One day *sigh*

    I've got some herbs, strawberry and courgette plants in my little raised bed. I've also got a blueberry plant that I got last year, not had a hint of any fruit yet thoughl.

    Someone stole two bags of compost out of my garden, I'm not impressed!

    Someone stole compost Ames...dam tight gits! I have a blueberry bush at home and it does have some fruit on it...well about 10 PMSL!

    Next year I am going to put a fruit cage up on the allotment and grow load of fruit (strawberries, Raspberries etc)

    I have seeds.

    and thank God Mum watered them otherwise I'd have dried up window boxes.

    I also have strawberry plants, nice strawberries.

    It was only wilkinsons cheapo £1 a bag stuff too!

    I have to confess though, I'm rubbish at gardening (I can even kill fake flowers...) and my neighbours did the gardening for the guy who lived here before, so I let them do it, I just buy the plants. We have the perfect arrangement!
