Hopefully once the allotment you get is settled upon, it will be yours for years to come. We have community gardens here but not as large as yours. The community gardens are mostly churches that allow gardens on extra land. These are basically 4X8 beds and usually don't cost anything other than an agreement to give the extra produce to the food kitchens of the city. It's a pretty good deal.<br /><br />Have a great garden day.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-76532780677514946742011-01-21T08:46:49.856-05:002011-01-21T08:46:49.856-05:00How frustrating!

It seems like the rules of the gardens were not followed and enforced in the past. All of the plots that we originally requests had definitely not been gardened for at least a year. The rules are, if you don't actively use them, you are not able to get a plot for at least one year and you MUST pay your dues before the end of the year or your plot will be offered to someone on the waiting list. <br /><br />We are the first new gardeners on the list to be assigned plots. I just want to be assured that the plots we are assigned are really going to be ours. We have a lot of materials to find and purchase to get them set-up.....and it would really be a mess if we started working on them and someone showed up and thought that they were still theirs.<br /><br />I will keep you posted!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-9384341621848661682011-01-21T05:59:55.531-05:002011-01-21T05:59:55.531-05:00That must have come as a big disappointment but ho...That must have come as a big disappointment but hopefully things will work out just fine in the end - our allotments are managed by the council who tend to try and forget they exist most of the time and then cause problems when they rememeber then again!Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-21529227173705292802011-01-21T05:44:42.516-05:002011-01-21T05:44:42.516-05:00Oh, so sorry to hear that-it's gotta be frustr...Oh, so sorry to hear that-it's gotta be frustrating.
