Has anyone ever had an Allotment before? Do they even exist anywhere other than here (in the UK)?
I'm getting an Allotment this weekend and am looking forward to growing my own fruit and veg over the summer.
It's my first time growing food (rather than flowers....or smoke) so I'm looking for some advise on what are some hardy, beginner friendly plants to grow.
I'm currently thinking Tomatoes, Cucumber, stawberries, beans (soy, kidney and runner), leeks, potatoes.
I should have 210 - 300 sq/yds to work with so potentially a lot can be done with it.
Any advise, suggestions or experiences to share would be welcome, doesn't need to be on an allotment but anyone who has grown (and enjoyed growing) their own food.
If this thread doesn't get much action I might turn it into an Allotment Grow Journal.
