The trouble with diaries is that you either start one and it dies out within a month, or it takes over. I think the same can be said about allotments too!

There are a lot of allotment diaries on the web, mostly cataloguing the successes and disasters of taking on one. Here's mine.  If anyone reading this is just starting off and is full of questions, try here for a list of common ones. It´s not exhaustive and I´ve probably missed something crucial, but it´s a start!

Looking out over the allotments, June 25^th 2003 - a view now gone as there is now a housing estate and no trees as shown below on 18th March 2005 :-(
