This is crazy.
I can’t imagine anyone who takes on an allotment to be so wound tight.
For the most part everyone keeps to themselves at ours although there’s definitely some people who are really good mates as well.
I’ve certainly not encountered/heard of any real dramas.Out of interest what rules do others have regarding hanging out in the evening at their plot/bbqs etc?
It’s pretty low-key at ours and we’ve definitely been there with music til gone midnight on many occasions last summer.
We back onto houses with long gardens and have met all of them and they’re chill.
Some of the Mediterranean families have built basic outdoor kitchens and clay ovens and really make the most of it.No one’s getting smashed and rampaging through the courgettes but was just wondering if others are subject to strict hours etc.

we're not allowed to sleep on site, though nobody would notice if I bivvyed up at my plot. our site manager's main vibe is just that he doesn't want any complaints from surrounding residents etc so its fires only when the wind is in a certain direction and don't be a twat.
our plot is worked fairly hard but definitely a tins and hanging out round the fire spot too. only really a problem for one of our immediate neighbours as they like to ignore how much their kids run onto our plot and touch everything. harder to ignore when there's a big fire.

Went down to the plot to do some watering. Grumpatron next door was there. She'd previously asked me what I was going to do with the onions, turns out they are Welsh onions so can be divided up. As someone whose stomach has a tantrum if I eat too much onion I don't need all of them so as a peace offering I asked if she wanted some. Her response was "if I wanted some I would just help myself." Turns out she planted them but she doesn't want them and I should just dig them up if I don't want them. Can guarantee if I did that that'd be wrong too. Bah, I'm just going to say hello and that's it from now on.
