What shall I plant in my allotment???!!!

[TheTigerThatCameToTea]

i have a lovely derelict allotment that will need something planting in it!

ideas please!

I grew rhubarb in England too and it is easy once it is established but I think it takes a couple of years before it starts producing much. We got tons from it this year but it is enormous so you need plenty of space.

My peas didn't come to much this year but I don't know what we did wrong. Perhaps I should try your technique.

Oh, I will grow leeks again because they are so easy and tasted amazing.

No idea why that came up twice. Sorry

Thank you for that. I will have a try with rhubarb then. I want to grow some ornamental rhubarb in the front garden too. That should interest the neighbors.

thank you everyone! (tis i, the OP)

have printed out this thread for future reference

I have this book and found it great for ideas on what to do/plant when, and used beanieb's book for planting space and varieties. I have raised beds - less digging!
