A little something else about the allotment.

Well I said in my lat post that I had a little something else to tell you that you would have to wait for the weekend for...well it's the weekend and here it is!!


winning certificate
That's right...I won a prize for my allotment. I know it's only 5th place but I was very proud of myself...especially knowing that the first 4 prizes went to well established allotment holders who've had their plots for many years. It came with £5 cash prize too!!

So I won this wonderful certificate and a bit of money hen I thought I hadn't done so well and certainly didn't get to spend as much time this last year. I never knew the prize existed...now I think I want to try and improve for next year. Anyway I was very pleased with myself and wanted to share my small achievement with you all!!

  1. Congrats, Tany. Hard earned praise!

    (I got an email this aututumn asking me if I wanted to downsize to half a plot as I didn't seem to be cultivating the whole area.)

  2. Congratulations. What a nice surprise that must have been for you. Now that you know about the prize it will give you even more incentive although I think you've been very motivated without it :)

  3. Really well done Tanya. It's good that the competition takes place without you knowing.

    On our site you have to enter and judging is done at the end of the season - the way to win is to never pick anything as they just look for a tidy plot that is full of produce. We never enter as we don't grow stuff to look pretty - we like to eat the veg.
