Had Monty Don and a pile of allotments. It was one of those uplifting
touchy feely programmes that made me wish it was Summer; lots of shiny
vegetables and immaculate vegetable beds. I was amazed at teh sizes of the
the patches (something like 10 metres by 30??

At the most, mine is 7 by 14 metres. Or is it 20 feet by 40?
(excluding my path).

or did I mishear that?....
that is HUGE!). I can see why there is a waiting list to get them.

Weird that. We only have one half-allotment left locally. Last
year there were quite a few unoccupied.
