Hi. I just needed to let you know that some parts of your site are hard to scan for me, as I’m color blind. I am a sufferrer of deuteranopia, but there are more sorts of color blindness which will also get issues. I can understand most of the website OK, and those elements I have issues with I can comprehend by employing a special browser. Just the same, it would be cool if you would keep in mind we color-blind people when doing the next web site revamp. Cheers.

Thanks for the review Lin. and great photos.
It will be interesting to see how successful our grafts turn out to be, time will tell.
It was good to get together, have some fun and learn a new skill.
Here’s hoping we can stage some other courses during the year.

Thank you, we had a lovely time and the kids really enjoyed spotting all the flowers, fruit and vegetables growing.
Hopefully one year we’ll have enough time to join you with an allotment, until then we’ll crack on with the garden fruit/veg! Really pleased we have such great facilities in our community.Thank you

Comment on Not Enough Fruit and Veg on Your Allotment? by julie

I agree with you on that one lin, but the council seem to see it differently to us. You ” have to be seen as working the plot ” in the rules & regs, but sometimes what we see as so called worked plots leave a lot to be desired.

Look forward to seeing you. The weather is improving so I’m sure there will be opportunity for a chat whilst digging.

The next planned open day event will be on Sunday 17th May so hopefully will see you there.

Hi,
I have plot 44. [The one that is still mostly full of couch grass - hangs head in shame that it takes me so long to clear a small piece at a time but hey its s-l-o-w-l-y getting there]

I thought this website would be of interest to other plot-holders like me who are trying to persuade their plots into some sort of order whilst juggling various disabilities.

Whilst its aimed at gardens some of the tips and tool suggestions are very useful and transfer for allotments.
