allotments - Stable Meadows, Foots Cray
Stable Meadows  is
situated in attractive Foots Cray Meadows,
has good quality well drained soil and is something of a sun trap.
Secure
car parking. Being away from houses it is quiet and not subject to
vandalism.
With the current interest in organic healthy food there has been an
upsurge
in interest in allotments and several new gardeners have taken up the
challenge
of growing food there, however a few plots are still vacant for anyone
with a few hours to spend each week. I started in 2001 with no
experience
of vegetable growing and got some good crops the first year. since then
I have been self sufficient for most of the year in root vegetables and
fresh herbs and through the summer in soft fruit. The bumper harvest of
strawberries in 2003 has been a high spot as has been having globe
artichokes
available in profusion during early summer. Next season I am looking
forward
to harvesting my first asparagus (from seed).
There's nothing quite like the day your take home your first load of home grown food! MJR 2004 |
