I got an allotment in Leyton a few months ago. Getting to grips with it. Not been a total success. Runner been have done well, as have onions and tomatoes, although a few got blight. Planted two beds of asparagus which I can't touch for about another 18 months, and strawberries (which have been ok but not as productive as I'd hoped). Also got some rhubarb on the go, horseradish and a few fruit bushes. also got a fig tree which started to produce figs but to no avail . It's only a half plot but that's big enough for me and it's nice to go there at the weekend and potter about for a couple of hours. At 27 quid a year it's hardly going to break the bank either.
