Through this website we aim to share our enthusiasm for gardening whether this is on our allotment plot or in our garden. Our weekly illustrated diary records our ups and downs from 2007. Methods of growing that we have found work for us are shared in the Grow It and Jobs to do sections.
Most gardeners love to see wildlife in their gardening areas and we are no exception. In the Wildlife section is information about the wildlife that share our gardening spaces and the ways we actively encourage biodiversity.
Gardening is very much at the mercy of weather conditions. A weather station is set up in our garden. Data recorded and how the conditions affect our gardening is shared in Our Weather section.
We are also keen to try out new ways of preparing and cooking the food that we grow; in the Eat It section we share a few recipes that you may wish to try out.
Also like most gardeners we enjoy visiting other gardens which we hope will inspire us or just provide an 
enjoyable day out. Some of the places that we have enjoyed visiting are described in the Places to Visit section. Some visitors to our website have also sent photos and information about their gardens and plots which are shared in the Visitors plots and Gardens section.
There are ideas for encouraging young gardeners in the Young Seedling section and a few gardening related puzzles in our Solve It section to keep you occupied on those long winter nights.
A section is devoted to providing information about the problems caused by contaminated manure which swept the country. This section includes all the information that we managed to gather, reports of our experiences and those of other victims reported to us, photographs and video to assist diagnosis and contact links for agencies that could be useful if the problem recurs.
Links to quality online shopping sites are provided in our Shopping section. Pages in this section are each devoted to different types of products and include additional gardening information. Some also offer special offers to visitors accessing their sites from ours.
Other sections give general information about allotments and gardening, information about Green Lane Allotments site where we garden our plots, introduce visitors to some of the other plotters who also have plots at Green Lane and share a little history.
Our site is regularly updated so we not only hope that you enjoy your visit but that you come back regularly to see what we have been up to. Updates made to our website are signposted on our blog so why not become a follower.
Please note that I have no control over the links to other websites - webpages change or disappear altogether. Links that don't work are very frustrating so if you find a broken link please email me so I can remove it from my site.
