This is my allotment, in Sherburn In Elmet. We pay a very small fee to the local allotment society for it. Its great exercise digging and weeding. I got the plot in late 2005, so 2006 is the first year we have been able to get crops in. A long way from self sufficientcy, but fresh vegetables will be nice.

Stuart here, watering the potatos

Everyone helps out.

A good crop of strawberries in on its way. But the ground is so dry.

This is the back of the plot. Space for composting etc. And an area to try things that might not grow

Another view, here are the raspberry bushes that mask off the back of the allotment.

Even Alan helps - here cutting the paths down after they became overgrown.

And he waters the potatoes too.

Broadbeans growing up well

More lettuce than anyone should have to eat.

I also grow some vegetables at home :-
