Hard to tell whether abandoned because some people neglect their plots but continue to pay the annual rent and only make an effort when they get a letter from the council allotment officer. I could enquire I suppose.
There are loads of other fruit and veg that get 'wasted' every year (eg blackberries) and you have people picking stuff thats available on the outside (woods) while some good stuff is inaccessible inside the allotment fence.
I have done a bit for community resource - 4th crate of these went out yesterday. Previous batches have gone in hours :)
