We first took on an allotment in 2004. We were fair weather gardeners with a plot much larger than we could manage. We never really cracked the year round cycle of sowing and harvesting that our allotment neighbour Dave has mastered.

We let our allotment go after having our first son Euan and then returned to the plot in the summer of 2017 when Dave offered us a small patch to work. Our successes are small and our harvests token but the joy of gardening with kids is priceless. Below are some quick links to some of our favourite posts…
