I took over an abandoned allotment in April 2010 with my wife, kids and my parents. Our first year was frustrating: the ground baked concrete-hard in May making digging and planting difficult. Even so we still had success with Sturon onions, broad beans, French climbing Cobra beans and Gladiator parsnips. This year we are going to do things properly... Our allotment is in Oxfordshire.

That's Life!
Nothing beats a picture of a parsnip that looks like a pair of legs and a willy. This fine Gladiator specimen* is either due to the fact that I failed to thin out the seedlings at the planting site or our plot is very stoney...
