Hello everyone,
Your excellent forum has a been my go to for veg advice for many years now, and I can't believe I have left it this long before actually signing up. I'm here now, so I'll probably be bothering you with all sort of questions in 2020.
I am in north Leeds, and I have had a half plot for about ten years. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of free time to spend on the allotment, and so I have streamlined things to run with minimum effort. For me that means paths, beds, low maintenance crops, and growing through membrane. I know that's not the traditional way, and a lot of people don't like to see it, but it works for me.
I think that his time of year (winter) is my favourite on the allotment. Lots of optimism and anticipation for the growing season ahead; no weeds growing, and I feel I have some power over nature. ..... Then spring happens, and nature reminds me that I have little power, and the pre-season optimism fades away as things start to go wrong. I love it. One year everything will go according to plan.
Best wishes, and a Happy New Year to you all,
Magnus
