Allotment holders meeting tonight, rents are due and are going up to £35.Word is that the bloke with the garden next to me is not prepared to pay that and is going to pack his in.Which would be ideal for me I have had my eye on that garden for ages.

Starting to re-plan Tel it means I can space them out more than I have been doing,be able to give myself more room to work .I will be looking to grow about 220 in my original garden instead of the 300 last year.If I decide to I will be able to get the same in the new garden.  |

Trouble with having 2 allotments is that under new government regulations you will be liable for environment tax. It's based on square metres so anyone with a 20 sq metre plot, which isn't a lot really, will have to pay £100 a year to your local authority. Sounds a bit petty but if you think of the number of people with allotments then it will raise millions a year for the government. |
