Allotment Life


I've been growing vegetables on a city allotment since 2008, and keeping ex-battery hens since April 09. Prior to this, my experiance with horticulture was restricted to killing houseplants. As much as I've learned, I'm still a novice experimenting, making mistakes, and having surprising successes. So as another year begins, I thought it'd be fun to blog and photograph life and productivity at the allotment. If you're in the UK, and want to know more about allotments including how to get one, try visiting this site: Allotment Growing and The National Society of Allotment and Lesiure Gardeners.

Onions (plus 8 garlic plants) doing what they do. They’re quite low-maintenance. Just some occassional weeding and a drink once a week as it hasn’t rained in over a month. Last year I failed to store the onions properly, and they rotted. This year I will try give the issue a lot more thought.
