Green Lane Allotments... I do recommend the min greenhouses...If you are using them to start seeds off you can get three trays to a shelf. They are pretty light weight though so I have put half a slab on the bottom shelf of mine as we can get some high winds. They do the job well and they are great if you have kids because you don't have the glass worries. Also they dismantle easily for winter storage!! They are only £10 in Pound Stretcher this year.

Hi Tanya,
I was a good week for us too. No potatoes in the ground yet though - next month's job!

By the way our allotment plots cost nearly £70 each including £10 water rate so you have a bargain!

MY sister fancies a mini greenhouse - do you recommend them?

Another plot?! Think I'll tame this one first, if there are still some empty next year then maybe.

Congratulations on getting the extra plot, more work ahead now. I'm jealous of you getting so much done, it was throwing it down here yesterday. What a lovely hubby surprising you with flowers like that.

Lottie....I did have a very nice day....roll on summer! and don't worry, your comment was relevant.

Scented Sweetpeas...I wish you luck with your allotment...hope you enjoy working on it as much as I enjoy mine!

Mal...No the rent has doubled for my original land not just because i have extra land...last year I paid £6 and this year I pay £18..but still a good price i feel. As for my Dad...he was just being a wimp..lol. Oh and O thought about going for one of the larger greenhouses but don't have the space in the garden for something so large and after what you told me I'm glad I decided against it.

Ann...My hubby was very sweet...I love surprises.. :-)

Tracey...Lol...dreams are funny things...I once tried to analyze them but it just gave me a headache...I think I'll agree that we have both have an unhealthy obsession as I dreamed of seeds and greenhouses last night...are you going to see if you can get another plot??

Congratulations on the new land and your impressiv...

Congratulations on the new land and your impressive looking potato bed!

Funnily enough I dreamed about you last night, you came along and snapped up 4 plots at our newly opened allotments which made me slightly panicky so I grabbed an extra one too!

Dreaming about allotments and blogs has to be a sign of an unhealthy obsession I think!

Well you had one fantastic day. How sweet that was...

Well you had one fantastic day. How sweet that was of your husband to surprise you with flowers, they're so pretty.

So Tany, your rent has doubled....

...but you have twice the land to cultivate.

Have I missed something???

lol

ps Re your 3 teir greenhouse - a good buy. My more ambitious "Walk In Greenhouse" got shaken to bits in the recent high winds. £20 not well spent. (I will reinforce it and peg it down again, but right now I feel like I've been had. At least I hadn't got any seedlings in it as they would have been upended)

It is a fantastic feeling being outside pottering again isn't it. We have had a veggie patch for a while but have just started an allotent and I can't wait! Already planted a few things out - ooh I am so excited.

Oh what a fabulous day you have had - throughly spoiled - which is lovely.

Looking forward to seeing your greenhouse up and you new plot of land.

Not sure if this comment is particularly 'relevant' in the true sense of the word, but I think it is encouraging to know that someone has visited and took the time to leave to a comment.
