just got an allotment plot [also my online diary of this new chapter]
i just got a small plot of land for a small garden in a community setting but i have my own little section of land to use, which i am very eggcited about as it already has both a chicken and a duck coop ready to use [it will be while before i get chickens maybe six [6] months to a year] as main crops take precedence then adequate fencing to allow them to be free range and with no-income this will be a challenge
i have some work to do in clearing the plot from overgrowth and what the guy left there in way of mostly vegetation which can be turned into compost and a fair bit of rubbish to clear
there is a raised bed with no soil at the moment and going to fill that up the permaculture way with dead-fall branches from in the nearby woods and going to grow strawberries and complimentary plants for strawberries [i will be taking cuttings from local wild strawberries]
there are apple and plum trees which apparently yield great crops
the few folk i met thus far seem laid back and easy to get ton with
onwards and upwards for this new chapter in my life

At least you got something. Start with that and who knows you might meet someone who needs help with their land and share it with you.

thank you
and yes and thank our true almighty creator for his timing
as one door opens many more will open too and all in our true almighty creators timing
the main problem getting allotments in my area and county is that those who organise the list of waitees are not managing it properly and the increased wait times are two [2] years to goodness knows when they contact a waitee to let them know a plot is available
i found by going to an allotment in the flesh and chatting to the allotmenteers i was able to jump the queue for instant on the day agreement for the plot
i truly bless this time and all who was able to help me get this plot by bending the rules to make it happen
