Default Advice on taking on an allotment required


"Jason" wrote in message

Hello,


I'm on a waiting list for an allotment plot but have no experience of
growing fruit / veg. Can anyone recommend a couple of books that may give
me a few pointers on how to get started. I'm hoping to be able to grow
things such as potatoes, tomatoes, brocolli, green beans, onions, salad
leaves, herbs, courgettes, etc.

Thanks, Jason.

Excellent book, available at garden centres etc, and inexpensive. And don't
forget your local library will have all manner of books to help.

Good luck with getting an allotment, you won't regret it.
