Not all plots are created equal, so it seems having waited for my precious plot to be allocated in my old haunt of Huyton , Liverpool (5 year or so waiting list) i have moved house. Upped stick and moved to sunny North Wales, Flint Mountain to be precise…
Now the plot situation in wales seems to be just as long as in most other areas, however the local village newsletter appeared and in it was a small ad for applications to join up to an allotment association also an advert appeared on landshare good old Hugh Fearnly Whittingstall to the rescue. within minutes an Application was sent…… 3 weeks later meeting called and association set up…. plot in negotiation… ???
local landowner offered a field to use, so a visit was called for by the prospective plot holders (7 in all so far) to aquire the field for allotments. Measurements taken , length of plots walked excitement built. All this took place about August 2011. Looks like wait till spring 2012 before the plots are up, so in preparation stage right now, drawing, planning , sketching, seed listing re listing all lists and checking tools, looking for hints and tips books the lot…. but still WAITING ……
