Hi.
I'm in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. I've just (after about 5 years of being on the list) got a very small allotment. I signed for it on May 31st and started sorting it out on June 2nd. 5 small beds cleared and planted so far and some compost bins made. I may not get much this year, but there's always next year - so far the slugs have had a feast, though!

And to the joys of vegetable growing, between the birds and the snails we're not getting much of a crop either - other than under cover, and no-one told the snails they weren't invited in there!

Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Thank you all for this welcome. I haven't managed to get back to the forum for a while - a combinatiion of work and my partner's health (We've spent more time in hospitals that at the allotment over the last few weeks!). But I came back from the allotment this afternoon with several questions, so I'll head over to the relevant forums now, to ask them!
