Do remind them that allotments are not back gardens and therefor much
more exposed to the weather, especially wind. So bean poles etc need to
be made much more sturdy than in a garden, larger pests may be a pain
too, from pigeons and foxes to the two legged ones.


Yes apparently the other plot they were offered was right next to road
and they were advised by others not to take that one but choose the
other !
However they seem to have been awarded a very well tended plot as the
weeds aren't too awful and the soil is well worked.
They are even allowed a shed or greenhouse unlike my local allotment
site! AND they have a tap next to them as well
