Its like Gardeners question time on here, I keep waiting for Percy Thrower to pop up at any minute.
Mange and Ash, We have an allotment, and OH grew Runners, Broads, onions, potatoes. Next year he is combining allotments with his friend, one is going to be for potatoes and root veg, and the other for fruits and salad stuff.
One thing we did find out about, was why we had a disease on our potatoes and found that some varieties are susceptible to this 'scab', and this year we are going to try King Edwards as they are more resistant. Maris Piper and Desiree are very prone to scab!
Our broad beans looked great but when we took the bean out they all had a tiny maggot in them and were inedible.
Gardening is rather frustrating, but we won't be beaten, he gets lots of tips from the old boys up the allotment, so if I get any tips I will pass them on.
