"This is my 4th year growing fruit and vegetables on my plot, it has been the best thing I've ever done. I wanted to get fitter but now I do it because I love the fulfilment the allotment gives me."
"There is nothing like growing your own fruit and veg from seed, it's a great feeling although it's hard work especially at first, getting your plot free of weeds and dug over. It's all in the prep."
"If I can do it any one can , as I have never ever done any growing or gardening before, well only cutting the grass! You can't beat home-made jam."
