After taking a call in May 2022 - my husband Adam believed that I had won the lottery! However, it was a phone call to inform me that I was top of the list for an allotment. IF I still wanted one? Who would turn down an allotment?! (Note: my husband would have turned it down.) Not me that’s for sure!
I’m a novice gardener who is learning on the job. The reason for wanting an allotment was to get my family out, with nature and eating better, cleaner food. For the most part it has been a success. (Apart from the slugs).
I may have told a white lie to Adam, I said having an allotment would save us money. But so far that’s not the case. But it’s the best hobby I could ask for and being part of the allotment community, both locally and online, has given me more than just fruit and veg. It’s helped me to share my wins with like minded people and celebrate the wins of my new friends. And that is why I love my allotment.
