One of the most attractive benefits from having an allotment is that it contributes to a sense of community.  On our patch there are people from a range of nationalities Greek, Indian, Romanian, Swedish, Finnish, and even the odd Scot, and occupations, nurses, surgeons, accountants, charity workers, IT managers,  airport maintenance staff and so on.  And despite our varied backgrounds, we all get on well together.  Many people have been very generous to Spuds and me, not only sharing their produce (red currants, rhubarb, cucumber and the rest) but surplus plants and equipment.  For example,  we were recently given a couple of aluminium cloche frames and

we can't wait to get some of our seedlings going under their shelter.
