Allotments

[NorthernRaider]

Bout bloody time I put more effort into food growing, so I've managed at least to take a small step in the right direction, I've been allowed to add my name to the waiting list for an allotment, but better one of the old guys who already has a fabulous veg allotment has agreed to take me under his wing to teach me a bit more about growing veg.

I can grow Toms, onions and Carrots but hopeless at legumes and spuds so hopefully I can learn a bit more.

good luck with that, we have had several allotments in the past and I can tell you its bloody hard work. how long is the waiting list in your area? in some places its several years to get one, in the bigger cities its almost impossible.

you may be better off if you start with a half one, in some places they have "starter" plots.
