My family does that, too, actually, but we own an acre of land so part of it is used to grow our own fruits and veggies. I'd gotta say that I trust these better than store bought and I do believe I've even noticed a difference in taste. And yes, it is cheaper! We sometimes have tons of extra, so we end up giving some away to friends or freezing some of it for future use. It's great and I'm really glad that others are interested in doing something similar.

Anyway, allotment does seem to be too much work. All the digging involved and maintenance, of course. It also offers a pretty cool perk: good, healthy, fresh food :) We used to have a garden, but we turned it into a garage space. Anyway, allotment does seem to be too much work.

We don't have much space but we have set up 20 squares by the side of the house. Read up on it, it will make you look at gardening in a completely different way! have you heard of Square foot gardening?

How exciting for you that you get to do that! Someday I hope I can grow my own vegetables... it seems like such a cool (and environmentally friendly) thing to do! That is so incredible!

I dream about having a little house with my own garden some day. Until then I settle with helping my parents out in their garden. Ohh that is great!

There is a shortage of canned tomatoes because of such a poor harvest! Then again, why have canned tomatoes?! I guess this is where greenhouses come into play, but expensive much? All that fuss about heat/humidity/goobers etc. Far too poopy compared to growing things straight out 'er the ground! I admire your belief and enthusiasm towards your project though! I know a guy who has a veggie patch in his garden and the vegetables that came out of there were huge and very tasty! (With nothing dodgy about them of course). :-D Yeah, I wouldn’t trust our good ol’ British weather to help grow anything! There is a shortage of canned tomatoes because of such a poor harvest!

I finally have my garden at my disposal (again), but since we have much snails around I never got into raising my own veggies. I do like to care for my orchid flower - it needs a bit more special attention though. I have been treating it on minimal care, but hufff sometimes they are strange flowers *gulp* Goodluck with the allotment! I'll be checking back to read more about it ~ Wauw that is very cool!
