11 months later, in 2014, we had a call from Ken to say a plot was available and did we still want an allotment. Excitedly we said, “YES!!!” The next morning we arranged to meet Ken and he showed us Plot 50B. We said, “Perfect”. The very next day we set about tidying the Plot. As we dug we could see just how good the soil was. After all people have been improving the soil and working these allotments for more than 176 years.
So in went the potatoes and as we dug the rest of the plot in went the other veg plants. That was three years ago and now we grow all sorts of various crops on 50B. We gain great pleasure and satisfaction from giving some of our harvest to family, friends and neighbours.
