There is a half plot available at the Caerlaverock Community Allotments beside the Barbour Hall in Glencaple. It is open for anybody living in Caerlaverock or has strong ties to it. 

These plots don’t come up too often, so we encourage you to email Rob Wells as soon as possible on rob_wells_uk@yahoo.co.uk. You might know of any friends or family not online that would love an allotment, please be sure to tell them!

Is it worth taking on an allotment in October? Well you could always wait until next year, but there are a lot of veg you can plant and prepare right now – have a look at this link for what to sow and plant in October. Garlic and Onions for a start, for a tasty winter stew or soup!
