My very first harvest from plot 33 happened today, a couple of sweetcorn cobs made the short journey home in my bag, destined for my lunch.
A touch on the small side but oh so perfectly formed, it’s mad to think not so long ago I pushed the seed into pots of compost and daydreamed of this very moment.
It’s not like I haven’t grown sweetcorn before, I just get so excited about harvesting something I know I have grown myself. I hope I never get tired of this feeling.
They were delicious by the way.

Step inside the world of allotments, where people grow vegetables on rented parcels of land and drink tea in their characterful sheds. From times of hardship during wartime famine to present day, allotments are great places to connect with the land and each one has its own identity and gardening style.
I’ve had an allotment since 2011 and grow food using the ‘no dig’ approach to gardening. I'm passionate about the fascinating wildlife I share my allotment with and strive to garden with them in mind, creating habitats and encouraging natural predators to help keep my allotment productive.
The aim of this blog is to document the growing year on my allotments, share the ups and downs of allotment life and hopefully inspire others to get an allotment too!
