Hi, back again! All well? xxx

Hi! Welcome. I used to love it here years ago but it's gone a bit quiet. Perhaps we can do something about that? :) I see you are from Anglesey, one of my best and favourite places in the world. So much peace there. We come every year. Anyway, welcome :)

Hi everyone, Some of you may remember me from a few years ago - been too busy with the allotment to post :D Anyway, I managed to instigate and help set up the allotment site near me and I have two plots (100 sq m each) and have loved them for the last few years. We also have chickens at home now - g...

PS for those who remember me, I now have two small allotments (totalling 200m2) in Derbyshire and I am LOVING it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am trying to upload them from my mobile. I will get you some pics soon. I love gardening with others - you turn round and another job is done (by someone else!) and it's great!!!! xxx

MMM About half of the plots are taking shape... ours has a shed, two compost bins, my son's raised bed is dug and ready, the fruit is planted, one of the 8x2m beds is completely done, another half done and the last one untouched as yet.

Are you at Grindleford? If so some of us (not me unfortunately) went up to see you guys a couple of years ago to get some ideas on how to set ours up. Only a week to go!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!

I've read a few message on here about livestock and there seems to be a lot of recommendations not to take your animal to a vet if it's suffering. I wonder what your opinion is of your vet?

We're surrounded by water, and the river seems to "visit" a couple of times a year. So we have a pretty damp garden. However, I have grown a variety of stuff - rhubarb/courgettes/beans/peas - general stuff successfully. Give it a try and grow what you like to eat. I would invest in some gr...

I prefer cats to having rats on my patch!

I have four cats (and no close neighbours) - and three dogs - they don't really trouble my patch. Are you sure you don't have cat nip growing there?

Hi guys, some of you may remember me from a while back. My time for the last three years has been taken up by trying to get Allotments in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. Well, although I gave up on the committee a few months back, we are about to be up an running - we can all start on our plots (100 x 100sqm...

They were announced in the local newspaper today.... article below from the Ashbourne News Telegraph (I'm a little bit proud of what we have achieved!)

Thanks to all of you - I haven't checked here for a while (had a big operation recently).... Yep, my nurse even said - have a bowl of cereal before bed time!!! Arghhh... I limit my carbs (i.e. pots, rice, pasta, etc...) and I have stayed medication free for my first year (I am type 2)... which is OK!
