OUR TOP PLOTTER
CLARE FARMER FROM STAFFORDSHIRE
Clare is quite new to vegetable growing but has been bitten by the growing bug and has created a wonderfully productive plot with a wide range of vegetables and flowers.
Do you tend your plot on your own?
Mostly on my own but my husband occasionally helps with big jobs. His name is Duncan.
Do you have an allotment or veg plot in your garden (and approximate size)?
I have a vegetable garden outside of the main garden. It’s about 250 sq m. I have a bit of additional space in my main garden too.
How long have you been growing veg?
I started in June 2023 when a neighbouring farmer gave me two tomato plants. I was hooked. I don’t even eat tomatoes myself!
