I don't have an allotment but I do grow veg which supplements my family and our chickens yearly food needs.

I'm not a proper vegetable grower but more green fingered instead.  ;)
If at first you don't succeed, try a different method.

I can grow vegetables but I think it's more down to luck than judgement!

I am always so chuffed to come back from the plot with any crop, I don't care whether I'm a proper grower or not  :) 

If you enjoy it and you get some good stuff to eat out of it, you're OK by me  :D

We're always disappointed if we come back from the patch with a full trug basket, and nobody asks us what we've got there...

Sometimes, I have to time the return to when everyone is coming out of church - that gets 'em!

I try to have a bit going through the winter - parsnips maybe leeks etc and u pickle a lot of cucumbers and bolted onions, but I cheat and freeze a lot of beans as I think it's nice to have something from the garden when there's not a lot happening outside! :tongue2:

That sounds like a proper passion for gardening Ma'am, and I suupose we all here have some of that!

I reckon we're discussing something to do with gardening several times a day, and luckily, because we're fortunate in having some more time than others, we can get down thto the patch regularly too!
