I've created this page so I can gather all my allotment posts into one place. We love spending time on our plot. You wont find beautiful rows of perfectly manicured plants on Plot 42. There are plenty of weeds and we seem to have a constant battle with keeping grass from invading our veg beds. But we do love it down there. Despite the weeds, we manage to produce plenty of fruit and vegetables. Fresh veg is what it's all about, the distance from fork to plate is a matter of a few hundred yards. Please head over to "Five ways an allotment makes family life better", if you would like to find out more about the positive effects Plot 42 has had on our lives.
I blogged about our plot as and when I could in 2015. I'm hoping to put together a blog post for every month of the year in 2016.
