First visit to allotment site

Have just returned from my first visit to the allotment to meet the site secretary who turned out to be a very nice chap who is passionate about the site. Unfortunately i'm going to have to wait a while for a plot. There is quite a large expanse of land which is currently unused, but it is waiting on Oxford City Council to clear it. Otherwise there would be a localised outbreak of David Bellamy impersonations. This clearance is apparently immenent, but failing that rents are due in March and the feeling is that there will be a few plots given up at that time.

So (or should that be sow) for the time being I will have to continue with my pots on the decking and seedlings in the loft. Time for another quick call to the council I think to see if I can hurry things along a bit.
