Tuesday 10:25am and the phone rings.
“We have half an allotment available if you are interested.”
By noon I was standing at the allotment gates and met up with the site secretary. I was shown the half plot and the situation was explained that the current plot holder is a man in his 90s and wanted to scale back so had decided to give up one half of his plot. He would retain the greenhouse/shed on his side and outside growing space until such time that he decided to give up the other half. I agreed.
For me having an allotment on a communal site is more about the social aspect. Meeting up with like minded people who have a passion for growing, sharing of tips and drinking tea.
The gentleman will continue to tend to his greenhouse/shed which currently has a health crop of tomatoes.
The first harvest off the allotment will be blackberries, munched as I tend the land. So this is my new half allotment, from the metal pole down to the boundary fence.

Congrats on your new plot, Sean. Looking forward to seeing it’s development.
A partial plot sounds like a good opportunity to find new friends and have more social connections. No harm in taking it and I hope it becomes a great asset in your life. All the best.
