You need a gift for setting all of this up :) Once I've worked out how the credit side of things works, I'll make sure you get something more relevant ;)

Yeah, it's exciting! Need to get some snaps from my allotment to share, although it was looking a lot more impressive / pretty before I chomped through most of the salad bed...

Hi Gill, thanks for not giving up on me. I hope I can contribute occasionally when I get the time. It's a brilliant site and you must have worked so hard getting it all together. Good luck with it all, you deserve it to be a huge success.

Thanks for the welcome Gill, a Bath meet up sounds great.

I'm only in my first year of allotmentering so not much produce this summer yet as I've been focusing on clearing the very overgrown plot!!!
