Hello from ScotlandHi there,
I joined this forum years ago but never actually got around to posting much, or indeed do any downsizing!
Anyway I thought I'd introduce myself properly this time.
I grew up in Germany where my parents have always grown their own food when I was a kid, and still do. There was a lot of fruit and veg, pigs, ducks and chickens for meat, hens for eggs, a lot of foraging for wild mushrooms and fruit, you get the idea. I didn't appreciate that lifestyle back then, but I've changed my mind and I'd like to start growing some of my own food too.
My husband and I got an allotment last year but we don't see eye to eye when it comes to gardening... I need a plan to work with (must be the German in me, hehe) while my husband does things freestyle, so I left him to it. This year we've agreed to split the allotment and keep out of each others half of the plot. I do know a fair bit about growing food from when I was a kid but the climate and conditions here are very different so I hope I'll get some good advice on here.
Anyway, I'm waffling as always... looking forward to meeting you all.
Inghinn

hello ,both styles work in a food garden ,i usually plant tidy rows but spaces get filled ,makes it fun
2 plants that every allotment should have are comfrey and opium poppy ,the first for making liquid fertiliser and medicine ,the second to attract and feed bees and if medicine is needed it will be self sown
proper grannie advice
