This section of the site follows what is happening out on the allotment plot through the seasons. Here you’ll find notes on what is being grown, how crops are developing, and the occasional successes and failures that come with gardening on the windy coast of Edinburgh.
The plot is managed using the no-dig method, focusing on healthy soil, simple growing techniques, and crops that thrive in our local conditions.
