I do not mention Allotment sheds enough here on the shedblog, they are the cornerstone (and originally inspiration for my love of sheds, thanks to my grandfathers one).

So here are some great ones from readersheds.co.uk

If you have a great allotment shed, then add it to readersheds under what every category it fits but put Allotment somewhere in the features.

I am not a big theater goer (Panto is my cerebral equal) but this sounds good (as it’s got sheds in, see easily pleased), but Mrs Uncle Wilco pointed me the direction of this play/theatre/indoor shed exploration.

“You probably know that Cain killed his brother. But you probably don’t know that Cain now lives in his shed on a council allotment. Or that he is regularly abducted and experimented on by Aliens or Angels (he’s not sure which). Night after night, alone on his roof-top, Cain defends us all from heavenly invaders. With all but a few of his Old Testament allies gone, this lonely Bible outcast is the last true champion of the human race.

The latest performance from the makers of Big Hands is full of humour, pathos and genuine weirdness. Original live music, poetic text and peculiar physicality flow through a surreal escalation of action, perpetually looping towards the most famous murder in western history. The show explores and “owns-up” to issues of rage, fear, jealousy and guilt. It also deals with the most powerful and sacred bond in the male world — that between a man and his shed.”

Anyway it’s on at Chapter arts centre in the Bohemian district of Cardiff know as Canton, (decent beer at chapter mind you)

I hope in the next few weeks to spend a weekend taking photos of the wonderful sheds in some allotments around the South Wales valleys – any ideas who I should contact? is there is any protocol for it?

not sure I will be able to match these on our Flickr group..

IF you have a great allotment shed, why not had your shed to our Flickr Group or better still add it to the readersheds.co.uk

My last post about my visit to Cornwall, this time the great sheds at the Eden Project’s Allotment..

Come and see our allotments flourish in our Global Gardeners exhibit. Our hops will be climbing their merry way up towards the sun and our fibre-producing friends, the nettles, look very happy indeed.

Come and see our veg! Our lettuces will be looking lovely throughout May. Colourful stripes of tasty vitamins!

I first went to the Eden Project the year it opened and was looking forward to visiting again, not much changed apart from things have grown a bit.

Further to my post about the great allotment shed, I thought I would look at my local allotments (hint there are not an yet) on the new fangled google street map/view of course it’s difficult to see them, as most are off mains roads. but I am sure we can get a peek..

Here are some in the Cardiff Area (Google has not reached the valleys yet), thanks to graham for marking the initial list that helped me find them.
