How about this then, I have said from day1 i know nothing about growing anything plants or veg and I dont pretend to and my dearly beloved thought it would be an excellent idea for an allotment (which he was right for a change ha) I wanted nothing to do with it, after about 2 months his business took off and he no longer had the time or patience for it so now it is mine. The only thing I know is what a rose is I couldn't name any other plant well maybe a daisy. So i put alternate rows of onions and garlic in, the birds had a few rows so for 6 months I thought they took my garlic I was a bit worried as my "onions" were not fattening up until my neighbour up there told me its not onion its garlic!! then told me what my dearly beloved said was a strawberry plant was a raspberry bush ( i foundmy strawberry plant in a mini greenhouse which the week before I had sprayed round all or up on because it was full of weeds so I killed that)then today I have a sunflower on the right and pumpkin planted on the left my friend told me its the other way around. I'm doing well a!! But at least I am still going I will crack it in a few years I hope but I think most people up there and I agree with think I'm a little bit mental for having an allotment when really I should at the most have a window pot!!
