OH has bene working out how much growing space I have here at the house. I will have once the beds are finished 5 raised beds of a total of 282 square feet.
Plus the greenhouse and pots for salad leaves and herbs plus the rhubarb and asparagus in with the flower borders.
He does not think I 'need' an allotment.
However last night we had a brainwave (rare for me lol)
My nan has about 1000 square feet of growing space beyond her pretty garden, which has been covered with black plastic for 3 years since it got too much for her.
It has not been a veg patch for about 20 years but Grandad used to grow everything there.
Nan has said I can peel back the plastic and use whatever space I need!
VERY excited, and am planning to put the stuff that needs little attention there, and largish things like pumpkin, etc.
Lots of plusses- loo on site, kettle, free babysitter there too!
Only downside is she's not keen on me putting up a compst bin or waterbutt. But can use her water instead. And she may want to 'help' whch at 87ish might not be such a good idea lol
BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
