What's an allotment and why grow your own vegetables
Many people are worried about pesticide residues in food they buy, others want the freshest possible produce and some just like a hobby where you get exercise without running round a gym like a hamster in a wheel.
So we grow our own vegetables on allotments - parcels of land usually publicly owned, that are rented to plotholders for the purpose of providing food.
The history of allotments goes back to Queen Elizabeth First - providing land for the common people to survive on when the lords stole their land.
I keep an online diary and I've added my diary feed to this page. You can find out more about growing your own vegetables here We also have an advice forum where we share help advice and chat about growing vegetables and keeping chickens - I also run the Poultry Pages

Fresh Vegetables from Plot to Plate
In the UK we have plots of land that the public can rent for this. This means that even if you own no land you can still grow your own food.
I run a website about this - Allotment Growing and with my online friends we offer advice to new gardeners as well as just chat on the plot.
I'm writing a book at the moment to help new vegetable growers succeed.
