MEET THE BLOGGER GET GROWING
How long have you been growing your own fruit and veg?
Aside from planting one potato with my nan as an experiment when I was little, and occasionally picking from my mum's rhubarb plant, I wasn't really into gardening and growing my own veg until I moved out of a flat into a house with a postage stamp of a garden – it was a new build so the garden was basically rubble if you scratched the surface, but I put in a couple of raised beds and thought I would see what veg I could grow.
Like with most things, once I'm interested, I go all in, so after that I got the bug and I put my name on the allotment list. A few years later – in May 2021 – I got the call to say I was at theI really started in earnest! I immediately got to work on my plot (despite it raining solidly for the first month) and it became my own little productive haven for two years until we were lucky enough to move out of the centre of town to a village where the garden plots are fairly big!
