    Welcome to the forum banksy. I presume you are not, well, THE Banksy? Are you any good at graffiti art?

          A bit tactless of me to ask, just in case you are! Feel free to maintain the mystery and enjoy GC.

                    I don't have an allotment but I do have a large poly tunnel.. Our veg garden at the farm is out of action this year due to flooding so we are going to spend the summer creating a new one on higher ground..

                    Do you grow & show or just grow to eat for the love of it.? This is my tunnel which I shall update later if I have time..
                    http://www.gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/marleys-tunnel.51721/

                    Have you seen Nathan's thread in allotments yet.?

                    I just grow for the love of eating fresh produce, gets me out of the office into the fresh air a few mornings a week too.

                    I have just re-covered my little 'Feelgood' tunnel in new thermic poly so looking forward to getting my tomatoes and chillies in there this year.

                    I'll take a look at Nathan's thread shortly.
