Our new allotment...

Over the past year I've been on a waiting list for an allotment, this week I was offered a few plots at my local plotholders and took this little beauty. 

Now it doesn't look like much but in the world of gardening, it's a rather large space; Eapecially if you live in a city. 

This is a bit of a big jump form using good produce to actually attempting to produce good vegitables, salads and herbs. Over the year we'll keep you updated on whats happening on the allotment as well as hopefully producing a few dishes using our own grown ingrediants. It's been a while since I've grown anything, the last was a few tomatoes back into 2007. Last summer I had a few window boxes but growing some tarragon & mustard cress doesn't really count. So bring on spring & summer and hopefully we can make some great food.
