I'm so angry

as when I went to the allotment this morning
someone had rustled a cabbage and 2 lettuces
I spoke to my gardening partner and he said
what he would do with a spade if he caught
the thief !! I would give veg away rather than
someone steal it .

They wern't vandals destroying your entire crop. Maybe some needy person took what they were afraid to ask for?

vibra, no need for name calling!

I used to wander around my local allotments just enjoying the gardens, seeing the crops people were growing, and with nary a thought of nicking anything. I can't go there now, the gates are locked and there is barbed wire everywhere. It's just the way things are going.

If they asked anyone on the site someone
would have given them some veg , as a lot
of people over plant and give if away , rather
than bin it.

Maybe theonlyone, but I can't even get on to my local allotments, they are like a fortress - and I don't blame them

What a life style we have to live today to stop
the no haves stealing from the have gots ?

maybe it was a hungry rabbit.........................

My local allotments once had a small shop selling compost, seeds, etc. You could wander round and chat to people, generally enjoy the sight of vegetables growing.

Today, you see a car draw up at the high gates, unlock a huge padlock, drive in, and re-padlock the gates afterwards. It's great. People will actually steal VEGETABLES???

Nothing worse than working your whatnames off in an allotment ,than for scumbags to nick what you have grown.

All true gardeners will willingly give stuff away because they always have more than they can use.On my allotments we sell some cheaply through the allotment shop, or the local fruit and veg shop, but we do give masses to neighbours , 1 parent families and the elderly .'It goes without saying in my neck of the woods that that is what you do.And it gives you tremendous pleasure to do it.
