What fun!

No pics (let's face it, it's not that pretty this time of year anyway!) but I thought I'd better end the summer with my thoughts on how our first year as allotment owners has been.
Absolutely fantatsic!!!! Loved every minute of it and overall I'd say it's been a success. Met some lovely people, enjoyed the fresh air and exercise and had lots of lovely produce to show for the hard work.

Really happy with the lettuces, carrots, potatoes, courgettes, french beans, runner beans, beetroot, spring onions, and broad beans

Looks like we're getting another half plot so what will we do differently next year?

• not bother with rocket....it grew faster than we could eat it and was riddled with holes from the flea beetle (still tasted ok though)
• grow more carrots, they were lush!
  
• have a bash at growing cabbage, sprouts and broccoli
• grow some parsnips, onions, garlic
• grow more fruit: blueberry, jostaberry, raspberries strawberries planned

All in all another busy year ahead.......and can't wait!!
