Hello All,
I was a member here a couple of years ago when I had an allotment, unfortunately for various reasons (my youngest went from baby to toddler and wasn't happy to sit in the pram whilst I worked, my husband slipped a disc so couldn't help and our plot neighbour said that an allotment site wasn't a place for children and started throwing broken glass down the edge of my plot to keep them away) I had to give it up, but know the toddler is at school and hubby's back id slowly getting stronger we want to grow our own veg again.
So we have had a what we think is a brainwave, we are going to dig up half our garden. We have a funny shaped garden so if we mark off a line from my greenhouse to the fence behind it we have a 20 square foot triangle that is in sun most of the day, and in front of it a level square lawn for the children to play safely while I am gardening.
I am pretty sure as long as I don't grow spuds I can keep us in veggies, does this sound a reasonable plan? I will have the 20 square foot plot, my 6x4 greenhouse and my potting shed.
