Green shoots...

I moved to Seaforth, near Liverpool, about a year ago, to be with my partner.

We're both keen growers; our front and back yards are green and verdant. They are also somewhat crowded - we had stacks of seeds unsown this year - so we've been looking into allotment availability locally.

She's been on a waiting list for two years, but with little prospect of procuring a plot any time soon, and with local (and national) interest feverish, I've been looking into alternatives.

Currently, there are no council-managed sites in Seaforth.
But there is council-owned land that would be suitable, just five minutes down the road.

This blog catalogues our efforts - and, hopefully, the efforts of like-minded Seaforth residents - to secure a new site on which to indulge our passion for growing!
