While you await your plot it is worthwhile doing a little preparation, and the internet can provide the perfect kick-start for your gardening adventure.
The National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners has long been recognised as the national representative for allotment gardeners.
Allotments UK provides a comprehensive guide to the subject with an excellent forum where gardeners swap hints and tips.
Allotment Growing is a more personal site, offering advice, forums and recipes as well as a brilliant diary updated regularly that takes you through the gardener's year.
Also indispensable is a gardening handbook to keep on-site that will help you tell your weeds from your Winter Savoy (allotments are not very wi-fi friendly).
There are plenty to choose from but of the newer ones, The Allotment Keeper's Handbook by Jane Perrone will get you started.
