We had an allotment near Torphins too, all kinds of stuff. Loved growing carrots and beetroot. Fresh tatties and peas and leeks were ace. Spring onions, and lettuce rows and rhubarb and spring greens and courgettes. Remember doing lots of weeding, and caterpillar killing. Now i can only keep herbs alive, and have just killed off a batch of chilli plants. Do green fingers disappear with age? Really want garden house. Only have plant pots on grimy balcony now, but the rocket is good at least...xxx
