It is Eva Birthday today and next week will mark the second anniversary of my application to the council for a council run allotment in Hessle. I did get correspondence back about a year ago saying I was number 14 on the list and did I still want to remain on the list.
I am in the fortunate position of having the private allotment that I rent, however it is not as large a a council run allotment plot and thus I wanted an allotment from the council as well or instead of the one I already have. I guess I should remember how fortunate I am! but still 2 years waiting… it just shows the popularity of allotment gardening and to some extent it has become trendy to own an allotment.
Eva is 2 years old today and is becoming more and more interested in the garden and doing things with Mummy and Daddy. We have bought her some gardening gloves and a trowel, she is walking around the house with her new gloves on trying to pick everything up! Hopefully this year she can become more involved in the allotment and planting, she learns things very quickly and already knows what the allotment is and where the potatoes and carrots come from. We hope to continue this learning with her over the next year, we hope that if she is involved in the growing she will enjoy eating the produce.
