After 5 years of waiting I've finally got an allotment plot, it's been neglected for a year so I've spent this evening with a friend starting to clear the masses of dandelions which have taken over. I'm quite chuffed though as it has established strawberries and fruit bushes and there are some leeks poking their heads through the undergrowth :)
Hooray I've finally got a plot!!!

5 years, you must be over the moon. You should have just enough time to get stuff in the ground, good to see that you have some stuff already. We found rhubarb and raspberries on ours and I am still pretty chuffed with those.

Congrats
You must have itchy fingers... just like me, can't wait to get started. (I've just moved to a house with a huge garden)
