I'm in Somerset and have had allotments on and off all my adult life. At the moment we are helping to restart a kitchen garden in a 2 acre walled garden using largely organic methods and old techniques.
We have a new ground vinery (Curate's vinery) made from Everest secondary glasing units (superb things) and an ever increasing line of Chase Barn Cloches. We are thinking of starting a small site to cover these old cloches and how to erect them and use them but we certainly don't know everything about them.
Most of the veg grown are Heritage varieties, except the tomatoes which are mainly Ferline to try and avoid the effects of blight. For much the same reason we only really grow early potatoes.
The walls are being re-populated with fruit trees, both fan and cordons, and we hope to include a big range of cider apples and perry pears as examples. but are too late ot plant them for this year now.
so we will be busy.
