Land is so scarce here that such a thing would not be possible (plus the fact that most of the best land has already been turned into golf courses).<br /><br />I was going to post a picture of my corn, but we've had so much rain and clouds that I though I wouldn't make it out of the garden (not for the clouds, but for the mud). <br /><br />Will try to send one up on Friday.Prosperohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114988815558549577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135071957131268670.post-46726639102939737622009-06-21T20:02:11.064+01:002009-06-21T20:02:11.064+01:001) My allotment plot is about 8-10 minutes in the ...1) My allotment plot is about 8-10 minutes in the car from my house or 20 mins walk.<br />2) I don't have vegetables growing in my garden. I just have flowers, shrubs,trees and paved areas, plus my summerhouse. I didn't want to give any of that up, so that's why I decided to rent the allotment.<br />3) My plot was originally 126 square metres, but then I was given a concrete hard-standing that was previously used for cars,and is adjacent to my plot which I now have my shed on. This freed up more space for planting, so I'm not sure how big it is now.<br /><br />I don't mind you asking. Our allotment tradition must seem pretty strange to you. I hope this makes it clearer for you.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540591998909116816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135071957131268670.post-42100569718668739642009-06-21T13:25:12.867+01:002009-06-21T13:25:12.867+01:00Thanks for the link, Maureen.

Just a few more questions:<br /><br />1) How far is your allotment from your house?<br />2) Why do you have an allotment and a vegetable garden at your house?<br />3) How big is your allotment? (250 square meters, as per the article on allotments, is huge!)<br /><br />I don't mean for this to sound like something out of the Spanish Inquisition, nor do I mean to pry into your affairs - it's just that I find the subject very interesting.<br /><br />So, having said that - answer away as best you can!Prosperohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114988815558549577noreply@blogger.com
