Recommended Posts

thanks!!! youve just made my day :-)

i was expecting it to be near the cemetry on city road(dont know why just had it in my head!) from heeley gleedless road isnt that far at all, and a much nicer bike ride!

 

ill cu up there Mojo 1!

 

I think you'll find that the allotments you are after are on City road.The Travellers pub there is shut,so won't feature on Google.The Halfway or Herdings tram will get you there from town,get off at Spring Lane.

I just handed in my acceptance slip. I should get a tenancy agreement in the next couple of days and then its all go.

 

The security up there looks fantastic as in it looks like a prison, I expected guard towers and snarling Rotties when I saw the size of the fence.

I didn't.

 

I'm an impatient sod and figured with security that good, they can't be too bad:hihi:

 

I used to live just down the road from there and the soil in the area looks similar to what I had in my garden. If it is then it's amazing and should be fantastic to work.

 

I'm waiting for my tenancy agreement now so I can go and get stuck in.

 

I've taken plot 24, if you fancy being neighbours?:hihi:

ah bugger, i was hoping maybe you could tell me which ones were the ones to pick! im definately gonna take one, the only thing stopping me was the chavtasticness of the surroundings! (iused to live round there to but it was like being back in rotherham, even the 10 year olds shouted freak!) but from the looks of it theres no way ill get any hassle on there, and i can now personally vouch for the security, but to be honest im not even sure anyone would knwo the allotments were there anyway!

 

aye neighbours sounds good, i just dont wanna end up chosing a plot and then getting up there and realising ive picked the one with all the brambles! just athought but if you get ur tenancy thru and they send you a key (they better do!) would i be able to come up with you one day and have a look around? if not maybe when you get up to 23 you could let me know whether 22 or 24 looks less overgrown! im really excited tho, was quite disapointed on sunday not to be able to have a proper look

It's lucky we're not scared of a bit of hard work:hihi:

 

On the plus side I have a bumper crop of Blackberries without even trying:D
