Allotments questions - is this normal?

Hi Cuke,
I have put my name down recently for another plot at ours, I was told that I am 7th on the list, but still stand a good chance of getting one next year. So looks like you will be in during April if not before.
It is a shame about the sheds, but I've got used to it now. I dont miss what I never had, kind of thing.
How are your veggies in the garden?
Sue

Hi Sue! :)

Another one eh! You must be having fun!
I guess you're right about the sheds, I think I just liked the idea of having one to 'potter' in. I'm sure I'll cope....
I was realllllly hoping I'd get in before April next year or else I can imagine it being a bit of a rush to get it ready and planted in time to get a decent crop. But worst comes to the worst next year can be bit of an experiment. I just hope the list thing works as it should... I never expect these things to work out as they should (cynical? moi?) so I won't believe I'm actually on the list in any position (currenly still 2nd as far as I know...) till I'm told I've got a plot! ;)

Oh and veggies in garden are doing great thanks, best have been the sweetcorn, already doing the whole self polenating thing with cobs growing which is amazing to watch! My peppers are less impressive, thinks its been a bit cold for them really, and something has enjoyed eating the leaves, but they're still growing so fingers crossed.... :)

lol and sorry everyone for taking this thread wildly off topic now.... ;)
