Hoping it won't take too long for this to be sorted out.

Hope things turn out for you Lynda. You most definitely deserve compensation for what you have spent, let alone all your time and effort and worry about the poisons. You should get a new plot and compensation for your old one. Good luck.

Good on you Lynda - put your foot down, it's not good enough! I really hope you can get another plot soon, it'll be wonderful to see you start with something else. I definitely would not be continuing with this one - try to keep every receipt or proof of purchase for the expensive items you have paid for if you can, as proof of all you have spent there - although that might be a big ask if it were a while ago. Take some photos of your shed etc as well. Keep all the letters and emails they have sent as well. Good luck, keep us posted!

Hope you get a new allotment and compensation.

What do,the other plot holding think,of all this have you had a site meeting? Seems they may just close it if it’s too much hassle for them, Ali 🇨🇦

Do more cooking lessons. Decorating videos for the holidays. ❤🩷💛🩵💜🩷🧡

Oh bless you it sounds like red tape and crap , personally I would not eat anything but grow flowers and flowers and then fight for compensation, there must be some environmental fighting group that may help but I am not sure who

I think you should contact your MP about this.

You need to get your blood tested for the chemical so you have proof to go against them

Can't wait for the results my heart goes out to you best wishes girl

Would any plant growing take up the poisons through their roots hun?

Hi Lynda, have you thought about the air pollution too especially as your plot is next to an industrial estate/factory. Who did you rent the plot from, and surely they are liable too and responsible for any health risk caused by renting the plot to the public.

Yes definitely need to move to new plot

Seems like a good plan to grow non edibles on your plot. What a shame that you have just had to pay your annual bill. Hope everything works out well for you. After all your hard work you certainly deserve it. Best of luck X

Love the creepy music, the pumpkins and all your decorations! The fingers looked BRILLIANT!!!

People go nuts here in the US for Halloween . We didn't do our usual cemetery and decorate the front yard this year. Maybe next year.

We live on a dark road with ditches along the road so we have never had trick or treaters here. Great treats the kids must have loved it. Have a super weekend, Ali ☔️☔️☔️🇨🇦

Happy Halloween, Lynda! 👻🦇☠

Fantastic it all looks amazing xx

Awesome video - your neighbourhood kids must love coming by your house on Halloween. Awesome pumpkins. Those fingers looked so real - what a hoot!

Love this video!! TY🥰

What a hoot !🦉 Shortdead fingers, yum 😋 Carving turnips was a form of torture in itself, thank goodness pumpkins had become popular by the time I had my son 🎃 🐭 I'm sure they'll be lots of happy kids ( and mice ) round your way 😃 Enjoy yourselves & don't forget to let those poor souls free when you let Trevor out in the morning 😁 👻🖤

What an awesome selection of seeds Lynda - and great price as well - bargain! I share your sentiments about the mice - I don't harm any of our mice visitors either. We are all on this planet trying to survive aren't we? It's easier on all souls if we are just kind to each other.

Lovely video as always .

Another lovely vlog Lynda. You sound like you have a good plan. I can only use pots in my garden so I am finding this interesting. Looking forward to the Halloween Vlog. Have a lovely Sunday. Regards.

Sounds like a plan ! I was sorry to hear about your issue at the allotment - glad you are thinking around it & will not be beat 🙂 I never get chance to harvest my sunflowers - the squirrels rip their heads off & carry them away 😂 Looking forward to the Halloween special - keep some 🧄 handy for the vampyres ! ⚰ 🧛‍♂ 🍂 🎃 🕸

I grew garlic in pots last year and the extreme cold and wet they rotted so be sure to allow loads of drainage and protection. Great update Lynda, Ali ☔️🥶🇨🇦

im super excited for spring summer already ! its great to grow all year round isnt it so you dont get bored <3 ,, why dont you start off sowing some cut flowers now that flower spring summer , then if you cant plant crops , plant the flowers to enjoy instead xx

Sounds like a good plan Lynda. See how things pan out but still have your plans for your garden and 'pumpkin' allotment. Grow lots of lovely flowers to. Looking forward to seeing how you reorganise your garden and how you use your planters as I do not have much room in my garden so I can pick your brains ... and pinch your ideas. Don;t be too downhearted. Things happen for a reason and you will still be able to create positive happy places for yourself. Very best wishes.

This is why cardboard and carpet should never be used on allotments! Even plastic is questionable.

I have similar suspitions of my mothers train track side allotment , she passed away from cancer . Obviously a ICI chemical factory is a lot more serious . Get at them girl .

autoimmune is much improved by Lion Diet research Michaela Peterson and various Doctors who recommend this as a starting point for recovery

Another problem is that councils are obliged by law to provide alternative suitable sites. Unfortunately, any available uncontaminated sites nearby are worth £millions as suitable for newbuild houses and apartment buildings. The governments (past and more recent (including present) have been successful in adding little hidden clauses in planning laws to rid the rights of homeowners and allotment plot holders from having areas in which to grow their own food. Some laws under the guise of net zero and the need to house working age people.

Where I live, Lynda, there are allotments wanted by a Tory run council for use in its 30,000 house build programme. Allotment holders were to be offered other sites in exchange for their “perfect house build site”. The site offered local to me was a brown site 2 miles away from where the plot holders live and was condemned as being too contaminated to build homes on. The cheek!!! Gardeners should also be aware that top soil merchants often get their soils skimmed off potentially contaminated sites that house builders have been required to remove before breaking ground. These sites are often old farms/barns, and satellite town warehouse type areas with asbestos roofed barns/buildings/factories etc where decades of rubbish and trash/oils was disposed. Contamination is all around us and within us now. We obviously have to live with it whether we grow our own food or not. Except for the hydroponic grown food in the tunnel farms beneath central London funded entirely by grants from the EU to the startup community of their mates. These serve the high end restaurants, hotels and government institutions in central London. So it’s not as if our governments have not been aware that home growers are a nuisance to policy. And treated with such contempt for years.

OMG Lynda! How absolutely devastating after all your hard work to be told your land is unsafe to grow veg on. Have googled it and it says that growing crops on land contaminated with PFAS is dangerous and can lead to liver damage, thyroid disease, obesity, fertility issues and cancer. Apparently the land can never be cleaned up so cannot grow crops on it again. I hope that the veg that you grew and have eaten was in sufficient amount of compost that the roots did not reach the contaminated soil. I hope that you will be able to get another allotment plot somewhere else that is not contaminated. At least you still have to garden to grow veg in. Extremely sorry that this has happened to you. Has brought tears to my eyes. Good luck Lynda.😢😢😢😢

My husband has been in the tanks for the non-stick pans. I'm sure it's within the last 10-15 yrs

Your plan seems like a very sensible one to me, making the best you can of the current situation and giving things time to allow the gathering of scientific information, while still protecting the health of yourself and your family, but still reaping the benefits of being in your happy place. The raised gardens should work really well. I'm amazed at your tenacity and ability to remain as positive as possible. Here's hoping the answers come soon.

Well that's that alloment f no good now would you ever feel safe eating anything again 😮😮

It makes me so angry that the land can be abused like this. So sorry Linda, but thats a good idea flowers and Pumpkins. I live in Thornton, and fortunately we have grown all our veges in quite high raised beds, due to disability. Chin up you will get there. Hugs Jean.xx

So sorry Lynda. You are such a positive lady and I wish for a brand new plot for you. Shame on the council. Saying many prayers for you. 🩷💜💛🧡🩵

I think the allotment society should refund you regardless and let you kept it for the year to make other arrangements. Irregardless I hope you can get something sorted that makes you happy again. Have a safe week, Ali ☔️🇨🇦

Well done, positive lady. Fantastic ideas.

Gutted for you Lynda. I so hope that something very positive comes out of this whole distressing business.

PFAs can be absorbed by the plants and taken in so it isnt just root crops affected. It is disgraceful that this has happened to you and your family❤

Hi Lynda, so sorry to hear about this, I live in Fleetwood so did know about this situation. I have a plot at Larkholme allotments in Fleetwood and would be devastated if this was happening to me. Our a!allotments are not far away from yours but they are not what was ICI so should be ok. We are under FWD Council so no longer in the same jurisdiction however there are empty plots on our site. It's a massive annoyance because the waiting list is long but there are plots that are seriously overgrown and affecting the plot holders who do care for theirs. I hope you can get some support and positive action going, we would absolutely love to see people who are real growers and allotmenters like yourself on our site. God Bless x

Email local mp

What a farce , they know what’s going on ,we all know and all we can do is limit the effects take care and take care of

Totally with you on this and I hope they will get you a plot on another clean site . So sad for you .💐 hugs Debbie x

Wow, Lynda 😢 I would be gutted. All your hard work. Hope they give you a new plot soon. 💔

What a nightmare for you ❤️
