Synopsis

Plot 37 is an account of my journey, evolving from a novice gardener to a proficient ‘Allotmenteer’ in just one year. I’d like to share with you the experience of discovering a hobby that will enhance your lifestyle, last a lifetime and give you a new found appreciation of nature and a sense of pride in creating something from nothing. Along the way you can share my humour, successes and frustrations as I transform a desolate council allotment plot into a structured and fertile growing machine that is producing quality vegetables and flowers all year around. I will talk you through the principles of constructing an allotment and guide you through the pitfalls of creating an allotment. During a night of boring television I began channel hopping to find something interesting to watch as I sprawled on the couch like the proverbial potato once again. By chance I stumbled upon a gardening programme called Gardeners world on the BBC and became interested in a piece being presented by the host Monty Don on vegetable growing.
