New Allotment - New Blog

Exciting times: yesterday MrUrban and I took possession of our allotment.

We have never had an allotment before, but were missing having a bit of outdoors space, and then we heard that there were plots free at the allotment nearest us. My family grew potatoes, strawberries, and rhubarb at home in our garden but never had an allotment, and MrUrban's family had an allotment for years, so we did used to know something about growing fruit and veg and are hoping it all comes back to us.

We have been watching Grow Your Own Veg on the BBC whilst we have been waiting to find out if we would get a plot, and bought the accompanying book (only £4.99 from the Book People, I highly recommend them). And have also got The Allotment Book by Andi Clevely which was recommended by Gardeners' Question Time.

We will hope for the best.
