Right this should bring us bang up to date with the scorchio weekend just gone. So down again we went to the allotment sproglets in tow. I really wanted to finish digging the middle section. I attacked it with gusto on Saturday and made a break through one side to the raspberry canes, but come Sunda...

I wouldn't worry about allotment neighbours, there's always folk in life who like to feel superior - luckily we know that all members of Down the Lane ARE superior

Don't worry we take it all with a pinch of salt

Stewart, I`m worn out just reading about all the work you have put in love your raised beds and your allotment looks as though it is coming on leaps and bounds. I used to have allotments but gave them up for various reasons, I had dedicated growers either side of me and they were really quite disda...

28th April 2013 Well we're getting there. Amazingly we have really nice weather. Looks like a full allotment weekend bar dancing lesson ferrying around. So hoping to get a load done.

Fear successor will have the SAF shadow over him from board level...

Hi Stewart & welcome That looks like a promising plot with a lot of potential, and such a nice shed too (sigh - mine is falling apart LOL) I bet digging up that fennel had a heavenly scent. Good luck for 2013 Did smell nice but was wary of spreading more seeds as the jungle was self seeded from...

Thank you for the warm welcome everybody. Been reading the forum for a good week or more and loved what I saw so joined. Okay let's try and get this uptodate. The day after we got it the whole family made our first attack to try and get things done before the winter: First of all attacking the side ...

Hi There This is my first post so I would dive straight in. At the start I will do a bit of backtracking to set the scene as it were. We have been looking for an allorment for a while. We applied locally (Although outside area kids go to school there) were denied and after a bloodless coup on the al...
