Myself, Hugh and Guy have got an allotment! Well actually we've had one for a few months now, just I haven't gotten around to putting any pictures up yet. It's in North Finchley, around a mile away from our new flat (around 2 miles from Guy and Sarah's) and its lovely.
Above is a satellite view of the plots courtesy of Google Maps. The red x marks where I think our one is - note the total overgrown nature. This picture is a bit old though and I can't recognize any of the neighbouring allotments in it, as they are all now empty waiting for the spring, so I'm not certain if the marked plot is ours.
Ours is a new area of the North Finchley allotments, so a lot of our neighbouring plots are owned by beginners too, and they are friendly and helpful with advice. One of the lads gave us a bunch of broad beans to plant and we gave him daffodils. I'm pretty sure he was taken aback as you can't eat them, but he seemed happy enough.
So anyway we got the plot in September and we have quite a bit done already. I'll get more pictures tomorrow and will try to keep you posted on the growth!
