   Well done on the mention - great to see this kind of thing get national press attention. Hopefully it will help raise awareness for allotments in Ireland and help dispel any lingering image problems!

   Thanks “Cheese”. Oh I think awareness is growing alright. Now all we need is a fine summer to carry on this wave of “growing” interest. Of course newspaper articles dedicated to the groundswell and mentions or links to this site can only help things further.

   Glad you found the article useful. I’m hoping to get the chance to practise what I preach by this Autumn, or certainly in time for next Spring. What makes me suspect that writing about this will prove to be a great deal easier than actually doing it!

   Keep up the good work, I’ve no doubt word is spreading and people are certainly taking the whole idea for real. John Gibbons
