Allotments 4 All

im in birmingham, so west midlands but kinda middling, lol, tis our 1st time with an allotment and were hoping to at least grow something the kidws might eat and enjoy! any tips for what to plant when would be fab :D lou x

We are in Meriden the centre of England.
Strawberries and Rasberries are normally popular with the children.
Last season we had a glut of runner beans and my little neice enjoyed picking them and preparing them for the freezer,labelling and dating the bags etc and miracle she actually ate them.

You are in good company then.  You have Angle Shades, Tohellwithweeds and at least one other (a newbie whose name escapes me :-[) down your way.  I'm all on my lonesome but some on here will say serves you right. :D

tohellwithweeds has the plot next to me and that one was in a right state when she took it over and the council wouldn't clear it for her had no money it was one very big pile of rubbish it took me and a friend just under a week to clear it for you her my was the same 6 foot high with brambles and other rubbish as well that was then to look at it now wouldn't know it was the same one to look at it.cheers buster

and at least one other (a newbie whose name escapes me :-[) [/quote]
Isn't knitter on there as well?

Greetings from Northampton (twinned today with Atlantis).

When the rain cleared this luchtime I went down to the site - and found stetches of plots covered with standing water. Fortunately none of my cultivated beds affected - just one gooseberry bush sitting in a puddle.

Nottinghamshire...Sutton-in-Ashfield...
I wish the weather would pick up!...I can't get my spud in!!! >:(

Nottinghamshire too ... Kimberley so not far from you Goodlife.  And my spuds are waiting too!  I was hoping to get my kids to plant them as its the holidays, but I think they'll have to wait till they've gone back next week!

Ahh...child labour ;D..never mind the rain..you just stand under brolly and keep them going ;D
