When did you first get interested in growing your own food? Have you always had allotments?
My husband Jim has always been a keen gardener in our small garden at home in West Yorkshire. He helped his dad on his allotment when he was young. We grew herbs and salads in small containers and pots among the flower beds. When our children married and finally left home we both reduced our working week to four days. Having that extra free time on our hands enabled us to apply for an allotment not far from home. In October 2016 we were lucky to get the keys to plot 4.This was the start of a wonderful journey together which has become a fabulous hobby and very much a healthier way of life.
