2010 will by my fourth season on this site and it's taken me this long to fathom out what works and what doesn't. If a particular crop is vulnerable to pests, I don't bother with it. And growing up the allotment is a whole different ball game to doing it at home - pigeons, rabbits, foxes, field mice are all things I've never experienced in the garden, but are rife on the plot.
So what do I grow? More of that later.
Here's the uninspiring piece of land that faced me on my first visit.
Within a few months I had it cleared and divided into six beds. Not a mechanical tool was used at any stage, just hard graft with a spade and fork.
