A Plot Too Far? Two allotments, two different sites. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Proposed Allotment Rent Increases in Sheffield. Summer time and the living is. All a bit mad really. What with kids being off school, going on holiday, the allotment going mad and job hunting.

January 2006 - Frankie and Mel are starting up an allotment occasionally helped by their husbands, Nick and Steve. The plan is to grow lots of veg and some flowers. Nick and Steve want to wear smocks, smoke pipes and drink cider. Allotment 21 will end in January 2007 when we hope to move house. Sunday, December 31, 2006. 31st December - The Last Day. As of midnight tonight we will no longer have Allotment 21. Sister has been calling Spouse and I Tom and Barbara.

Attempting to start an organic allotment from scratch. Sunday, August 21, 2011. Cabbages and Brocolli growing fast! First signs of brocolli head. one of our winter crops. Nothing beats the taste of fresh peas from the pod.

This blog is a record of my allotment site and how I am getting along. Monday, 19 March 2012. Dug in the crimson clover and Phacelia. Had nice chat with a couple of young boys through the fence.

And just to show you the potato patch before it turns into a weed patch like the rest of my allotment! This is supposed to be my onion patch. There are definitely onions in there somewhere! .

This blog combines 2 passions - taking photos and gardening. we have a little 8x3 back garden and a local allotment to play in. we try to garden organically - not always successfully especially when it comes to snails! Thursday, August 23. The bigger picture - summer 2012. Hope some of these are ready for early Autumn harvest too! 3 new rows planted today. Picking and eating the beans. We are getting a bucket load of beans every 3 days! Allotment tomato disaster - blight everywhere.
