I've been offered an allotment (do you know what that is or is it a Brittish word??)
It's around 660 square feet, with a 10'x 13' greenhouse and a small cottage 
So... if I say yes I will at least be able to plant my seedlings 2 feet apart

In the UK, an allotment is a common area near or in a village. Residents can rent plots and use them to grow flowers or vegetables.
I found this reference: Contact your local council to apply for an allotment near you. They will either allocate you a plot or, in many cases, add your name to a waiting list.
When you travel by train in the UK, you can often see sizeable plots of land adjacent to small towns. These plots are divided up into smaller plots, and often contain gardens, and even small greenhouses.
