Half a Plot is Better Than None or Sometimes One.

My allotment is not a full plot but a half a plot. However it is larger than some of the half plots because the way the site is shaped and divided. I took on half a plot to begin with and then for a short time tried to work the full plot; when I was asked if I wanted the other half when it was  'cleared' and became available. That full plot responsibility did not work out well for me; whatever I was doing the jobs waiting to be done on the rest of the plot were causing me concern. The few months I tried to work the larger area I believe resulted in me cropping less that season than I do now in the spring and summer with the half sized plot.

I know some people can manage more than one plot but I am happy with my ten rods and for me it provides ample fruit and a tasty selection of vegetables too.
