Welcome to our allotment diary.   And to some of the things we have learned over the last few years.

We had nearly five years on a very fertile alluvial soil on the Seacroft Hall Allotment site - until our plots were thoroughly trashed by vandals over two seasons.   In 2004, we moved to Oakwood Lane Allotments; it's a lovely site, great people --- but gardeners must have their grumble!   We now have much more "challenging" soil, and a tough clearing job!

We're back on track to growing enough organic vegetables to be self-sufficient for most of the year - next year's Christmas dinner is planned (I'm writing this in January).   All we need now is for the vegetables, the soil and the weather to oblige!

Enjoy your visit!
