Hi NisiNJ,
I forgot about this thread!
My allotments is for keeps as long as I keep it in good shape and actually grow vegetables.
It is about 60ft by 20ft, with a little shed.
I haven't ventured down there yet this year, it is far too wet and soggy the soil is not workable.
Last year I grew from seeds in my greenhouse at home, then brought them as young plants to the allotment.
carrots, leeks, parsnip, turnip,tomatoes,onions,lettuce, cougettes, lots more and flowers.
This year I'm going to sow some seeds directly on the allotment. I have so much clearing still to do from the previous plot holder. I am going to do a big area with flowers!
Do you have an allotment, or grow veggies?
These are some of the seeds I used.
Eddited to say, I got the measurements wrong, it is more like 100ft by 20ft
