About our Allotment

It is 65 metres by 10 metres and comprises a green metal shed, greenhouse, raised bed and cold frame as "permanent" strutures.

There are three apple trees (2 eaters, 1 cooker) and a pear tree. Other fruit includes two rows of rasberry canes, rhubarb, gooseberries, black currents, red currents and strawberries. We like making jam!

We grow potatoes (early, main and salad), beans, garlic, onions, parsnips, carrots, sweetcorn, pumpkins, peas, leeks to name but some.

We currently have some daffodils to brighten up the allotment and we are growing some giant sunflowers.

Oh yes we started work on it about 8 years ago so we are starting to get the hang of it but still learning all the time.
