Dunno if Petes thought about ithis, what with the space issues etc (same here, as it happens) but about 18 months ago, I put my name down on the council list for an allotment.
They emailed me last week and the F.I.L. is meeting up with the bloke from the local parks department tomorrow to view the available site. Which is quite a surprise as the waiting list was down as 3 years, so only an 18 month wait isn't bad...
It's a 5 minute drive from home, so not far, plus I'm thinking along the lines of using it for easy to grow, but not needing too much continuous tending fruit bushes/plants......
Hell, there even might be enough space for a couple of vines.... I won't know till I've seen the plot.
If others who fancy a go at vines etc did the same, then it's gonna give them a bit more growing space without the hassle of "erindoors" claiming the garden space as "theirs"....
So it's probably worth a thought....
