Allotment Plot 94
We have had our allotment, about 5 minutes walk from our house, since June 2004. The first summer was hard going with a new baby and a plot that hadn't been properly cultivated for 7 or 8 years. The weeds were knee-high over the whole plot, but we put our backs into it and after last year's successful (to a degree) growing season, we are starting this spring with far fewer weeds, a neatly laid out plot, and a couple of year's experience behind us.
Our allotment divided into 4 beds for rotation, a strawberry bed, and a bed with blackcurrants, redcurrants and raspberries.
This is the plan for 2006's 4 rotational vegetable beds:
Bed 1
White & red cabbages, cauliflowers, calabreses, lettuces and chinese cabbages.
Bed 2
Peas, sugarsnap peas, french beans, salad onions, red onions, garlic, leeks and lettuces.
Bed 3
Tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes and red peppers.
Bed 4
Celery, sweetcorn, leaf beet, silver beet, wild rocket, beetroot and carrots.
