On The Allotment

While searching for information on allotment gardening and what i should be doing now on the allotment. I found the following news story.

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/2009/02/09/long-waits-for-plots-as-allotment-growing-takes-off-91466-22883756/

This just proves firstly how lucky I am to have been given this plot, and also the growing popularity for allotments.

Over 3000 People in Wales are waiting for a plot and it is estimated that the waiting list is over 7 years! and some in some areas the waiting list is up to 9 years.

I suspect that this growing popularity is partly due to BBC Gardeners World running a recent series on allotment gardening, and also quite probably the ‘credit crunch’ is making the idea of self sufficiency with cheap healthy food an appealing prospect.
