Welcome to our plot!

I'm Hazel, and in Nov 2006 my friend Jane and I took on a half plot at Hill Allotments, Sutton Coldfield - we want the satisfaction of growing and eating our own fruit and veg, and to improve our diet (and fitness!).

This is the story of what happened next...........

5-a-day?

Well, even without going to the Hill this evening, I must say that there was plenty of choice for my meals today.

After home grown lettuce & cucumber in a sandwich for lunch, I had a choice of varieties of potatoes to go with my lamb chops this evening (cooked with red onion & garlic), then peas, two types of French bean, courgette (yellow or green), cabbage from Reg-next-plot, carrots & broad beans (from Paul by the gate).

Of course, I didn't eat all that lot - I'd be the size of a house - but what fabulous variety!

  2. It's hard NOT to eat a large amount of veg at this time of year if you grow your own!

  3. Marble cake distributed round the borough, with a little in the freezer, fruit cake for suppers, Julie - yum yum!

    It is delicious, Dinzie, if I say so myself!

    We're a bit spoilt for choice at the mo, Flum - must remember these times when I'm eating kale for the 15th day in a row in January...
