Really enjoyed your post. It’s the first allotment Substack I’ve found on here. I’m an allotmenteer in South Birmingham struggling away with a once a week Friday morning visit to my half plot in between working and mothering duties. This post has been lovely and I’m looking forward to your future posts. I’ve subscribed as I need you to write more!

Claire, it’s so generous of you to like my Substack so much. I hope you stick around for the changing seasons. I know how you feel, working to fit in looking after a plot around everything else in life. Keep at it!

Hi Ang, thoroughly enjoyed reading this & have subscribed. That Brian Harvey plaque is brilliant! All the pictures of your plot I've seen on TGM look great & I definitely have allotment envy! We have 2 half plots that need a lot of work to make them look even vaguely presentable. So glad you made the leap & started this.

Subscribed and looking forward to reading more of your allotment stories (I laughed out loud at the unofficial blue plaque!).

I really resonate with your first paragraphs, as I am mustering the courage to publish my first post. Seeing you do it encourages me to just do it . Don't you love this place 😊
