A garden is probably connected to your house but an allotment is usually owned by and rented from the council for the purpose of growing veg. They hark back to a time when we didn’t have supermarkets with every good under the sun and so anything you can grow yourself was a welcome addition.
Glad to see there are still allotments. I hope they never go away
Indeed! We cherish ours certainly. We have a great community too.
Mmmm .... gardening. I’m a big fan. I’ll be starting some seeds soon! Thanks for sharing your photos with us.
No worries. Good to look at sunnier days to come!
I love raspberry, growing it is a wonderful idea. Keep going Martin! U r doing a good job.
Do you find being in nature helps your mental health?
Why is it called an allotment and not just a garden?
It’s a good question.
