We tried to improve our security with a new fence and entrance gate but some people either won't lock it and some won't even shut it so it's always possible for unwelcome visitors to get in. The economic climate means that theft on allotments is going to be a problem - there again most of the people who leave the gate open have nothing to steal!!<br /><br />Hi Bangchik - I think in our case its more not watching what children are up to!<br /><br />Hello Amy - I just hope the unripe apples gave them tummy ache and they will leave them alone now!Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-28078257290033395982010-08-03T07:24:33.511+00:002010-08-03T07:24:33.511+00:00Oh no!

Like you the frustration is (partially) that they dug up some of our maincrop spuds. If they'd tried the earlies they'd have done better. <br /><br />We have 8ft fencing topped with barbed wire and only one (locked) entrance to the site, so it's a bit worrying. I even feel relieved that my victim status removes the stain of suspicion, as I can't avoid summising that there is an inside connection....Mal's Allotmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349857165496487250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-2337757030900427032010-08-02T14:24:59.408+00:002010-08-02T14:24:59.408+00:00Hello Vrtlarica.
