I am so lucky to have such helpful and generous allotment neighbours :) One neighbour helped me make a salad bed where I found the surprise vegetable bed. He gave me an old greenhouse base as a raised bed which sat perfectly ontop of the old vegetable bed and then filled it up with lots of compost! That saved me a lot of work and I could plant some seeds straight away!! I planted radishes, lettuce, kale and spring onions.

Two other neighbours gave me some strawberry plants and broad bean plants. Everyone on the allotment are so helpful and friendly. I dug some more of the main vegetable bed over and planted the broad beans and temporarily planted the strawberries there too. I wanted to create a seperate strawberry bed at a later date.

#1                     

Do little and often, consistency pays off.

 
#2

Talk to your neighbours. They will be able to tell you what grows well on your particular site and give you useful advice.

 

#3

Always net over green leafy vegetables as birds love to nibble them, theres nothing more disheartening than finding your brocolli seedlings have been eaten down to stalks!
