Hi Gui Ross, Welcome to Allotments4all from me too, enjoy the forum Sounds like you had a busy first season I don't think you can import seed potatoes from the US. There are a few 'Blue' varieties available in the UK though, Vitelotte, Violetta and Salad Blue off the top of my head. Perhaps you have a upcoming Potato Day near you, a good chance to pick up some coloured potatoes? Or you can try growing your own blue variety from true Potato seed?Good luck getting your lottie.
Hi all. Back after a few years away from this site.Still on the same site in Enfield, North London.We have plots available !Terry
Hi, I'm not strictly new but I've been away for a couple of years, having been poorly and really found last year difficult. I'm determined to do better this year both on the allotment and in the garden. I even have a salad planter right outside my kitchen door so that if I can't go far at least I can garden a little! Oh, and growing as many evil chillies as possible. Looking forward to spending more time on here - happy gardening x
Hello from sunny South Yorkshire. I have been gardening with Christine, the boss, for 50 years, but that doesn't mean I am an expert. It just means that I have had plenty of time to make lots of mistakes - some of the more than once. We have lived at the same house for 30 years where we had an Agricultural Tenancy on 15 acres where we had 13 outdoor sows and a boar, 60 odd Angora Goats and reared a steady stream of calves to 18 months. Although there are 200 acres of woodland beyond the land is is very urban and protecting fences and livestock became too much of a hassle - as well as the steady stream of silly regulations. So now I just have 1.25 acres nearest the house which represents a fight with brambles, bracken, nettles and horse tails, such fun. The land is a sandy, acid South facing slope. When we had livestock I fed more hay in July than I did in January. Just to add to the fun my eyesight is pretty bad but it is all part of life's rich pattern.
