terryd 8,122 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Picked up the keys to my first ever allotment this morning well chuffed. Its all over grown with grass so plenty of work. I had a choice of one with some gooseberry bushes or rhubarb on so I opted for the rhubarb. Looks like it has been there a while just needs a bit of maintenance maybe. Will have to read up. Plenty of ideas on this thread too 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
