In January 2012 I applied for an allotment at one of the many sites in the city. A year later I received an email notifying me that one had become available at
St. Ann's Allotments. I was given an acceptance form to complete indicating whether I still wanted a site, and any requirements I needed. Once that was returned I had another email with plots that were available to me and proceeded to arrange a viewing time for the plots. When I met the individual that would show me where my potential plot could be, he informed me that there were more available than originally told about. After being shown about ten sites I informed him I would think about it over the weekend and email back my preferred site. I ended up going with site B195, a 401 square metre site, located on a hill with a two tiered style garden split into four quadrants and full length narrowish front garden, and it only costs me £68 a year(approx. $90), on the southern side of the greater allotment area. So far I have spent two hours on site working about 1/5th of my total area, and look forward to spending more time there.
I will be posting updated photos as more work is done on site.
