Rosas New Allotment

thanks penny, redstar and alice, im so excited to see my new allotment, friends of mine going to help me sort it out ready for me to start getting it done up, going to buy my new shed soon and buying outdoor tiles for my sitting area decided against grass as with my babe rosa she will make a mess of a lawn so im best with a tiled area, cant wait so excited

 

Rosa I am nearly as excited as you are!

I'm pleased to hear your friends are helping you to get it started. Don't forget to take a "before" picture will you?

 

arghhh thanks jazmine, i will get pics when i get there show you the mess its in hehe, its going to be hard work apparently its just full of high weeds, needs chopping down, digging up, havnt my car also to get up there, mind wednsday im getting a lift after that hoping i have my car back.

 

well got some bad news just had a call my friend didnt get allotment apparently they made a mistake and hes next on list for one could take 6 months, i was so looking forward to going in the morning, crikey its just not my luck.
anyway a friend of mine his 2 brothers have local allotments hes going to ask them this week, it very close to were i live so hes finding out iff there is any and what situation is as i dont want to wait for years for one

 

Oh dear thats such a shame Rosa. :( I do hope you get offered one soon.

 

will ting i couldnt believe it when i got the phone call from my friend, theres one coming up soon apparently so just wait and see and its a better one

 

Oh, that's disappointing Rosa, but even if you had to wait another 6 months that would be early next year and plenty of time to get ready for spring planting - and all winter to plan and prepare,
Good luck and hope you get some kind of confirmation soon.

 

Alice just been on the internet and put my name down on local council allotments list for my area so will wait and see iff they have any plots available, quite agree with you there will be plenty of time to get an allotment ready for next year.

 

That's the right way to go about it Rosa never give up!:gnthb: Hel.xxx.

 

thanks helen, im sure something will eventually come up ive put my name down for 2 places in my area and also iff my friend gets his in the next few months, what i was thinking i will start and buy some bits for the allotment and keep them that way i will have a better start when i get an allotment.will also start and buy packets of seeds, i have nasturcian seeds from mine on balcony so have put them in an envelope.

 

Thats rotten luck rosa, I hope one comes up soon for you.

We too have my name down at a local alottment but fear I will have a long wait for one. We are sixth on the waiting list and only one or two become available per year, add to that its sited on the side of a hill so all apart from three or four at the bottom of the site are unsuitable for Anne in her wheelchair.....it could be a very long wait.

Steve...

 

steve im pretty dissapointed, my friend hes next on list and reckons he will get one soon so i will have half of his and wait and see what council say it could be a long wait, thats bad luck about yours do hope you get one soon as its pointless getting one on a hill for Anne lets hope you get one soon also

 

Fear not Rosa I always collect plenty of dahlia seeds (my favourite flower) once you'ave got the go ahead with an allotment shared or your own just let me know and I'll send you some seeds.

After all us ladies have got to show those boys what an allotment should look like having both veg and beauitful flowers!:wink: Hel.xxx.

 

thanks ever so much helen that would be lovely having dahlias will find the perfect spot for them once i get the allotment, we will certainly show the boys its nice to have flowers aswell as veg and leeks and things.
im buying a lovely gazebo soon from B&Q and they have the shed i want, just buying bits and pieces then i will have most things when i eventually get the allotment.
got some big large white poppy seeds from my friends garden so put them in an envelope ready to keep

 

That's a great idea Rosa. I will send you some seeds then you will have a little bit of us on your allotment!
