Let's hear it for the lady allotmenteers
A welcome number of women are getting allotments and changing the face of the little plots. Obviously, some of the old codgers aren't happy about this.

A welcome number of women are getting allotments and changing the face of the little plots. Obviously, some of the old codgers aren't happy about this.
Neil Dixon, the chairman of the National Allotment Gardens Trust, said: "The reason for the conflict is different lifestyles. Often it is a shock for a flat-capped, red-nosed gardener of advancing years to find an attractive young woman on the plot next to him. He will probably be a bit disgruntled.
"But this kind of attitude is way out of date. Usually after a season they are all getting on famously and swapping seeds and advice."
