This is why I lost my allotment - I was too lazy to go there!
TBH, I'd rather grow at home where I don't have to stress about stuff getting nicked, or have to put up with old hands giving me a hard time for not growing things "the right way". I'm basically an anti-social so-and-so, but not thick-skinned enough to tough it out
Hats off, though, to those of you who have taken to allotments and made them work for you - I do slightly envy you the extra space, but only a little!
I am not anti-social though and if others are on site I will happily have a natter. As the weather warms up punters will trickle back and they are a decent bunch of keen gardeners, they just don't like the cold weather.
