In response to a reader's comment asking for an allotment update, I am working this week all week, including Saturday. With regard to quite how I am going to make adequate improvements on my allotment I can see only a desert land, with no water and no way. Shall I quit my job or just give the keys to Jason and hope for the best? He'll want paying, mind.

Solution 1: Get advice (and spare plants) from the other allotment holders.
Solution 2: Find out where they get their water.
Solution 3: Ask them where they got their sheds - a lot of sheds will be discarded from gardens.
Solution 3: Ask around to see who's got a rotovator, or where you can hire one for a day.
Solution 4: Shove in some lettuces.
Solution 5: Host a weekend Dig-In.
Solution 6: Two hours' work just twice a week will make a heck of a difference. Have you actually got a man-size fork and spade?
'Benedict, 86, appeared frail in his last days as Pope but has since recovered well, rising daily at 5.30am and filling his time with piano practise to improve his Mozart, meeting old friends, praying, tending a kitchen garden, reading the Vatican's daily newspaper and watching the evening news on TV'
From the Daily Telegraph a few months ago. Gets up commendably early as well.
Finally got allotments explained to me by my Anglophile sister who lived 5 years in Haverford West, Wales and consequently now has an entire wall of her Indianapolis home covered with a gazillion carved wooden spoons .

In the US, we have more space. Thank God.
