Hi,
We acquired an allotment in May. I turned 40 and suddenly found an interest in gardening
. We have two young children, who we try to feed healthily. It is so expensive to buy all organic produce, so I decided to take on the allotment project to cut shopping costs, get a bit fitter, and generally escape from my 4 walls at home (from where I also work).
I am planning on a five year project to become about 80% self sufficient wrt fruit and vegetables. I don't know whether that is realistic, but I'm going to give it a go, with help from you guys, hopefully!
Looking forward to reading all your hints, tips and experiences!
