  Well, finally got around to it - my brother and I are the new proud tenants of neighbouring allotments. Both in our late thirties and there we were, rummaging around like a couple of schoolskids - ridiculous really...
  
  Actually, when I say 'allotments' I really mean small patches of wilderness! Never mind though - should be fun (!?!) getting everything ship-shape (!!??!!).
  
  Some good advice on the board here so I reckon I'll be back a few times - wish me luck, I'm going to need it!

  Congratulations on acquiring allotments. The best advice I can give is to do it a bit at a time otherwise it can become quite daunting. I have had mine for a couple of years now and I still havent got all of it into cultivation yet but I do a bit more each time I am there. Dig a small bit over and get something planted and then you have something growing while you are working on another area. This is a good time of year to plant garlic.
