With the warmer days now arriving things have been busy at Middridge allotments with plot holders planting out their young plants and sowing seeds straight in to the ground.
It is interesting to see that the face of the plot holders at Middridge Allotments has been changing over the years. A younger age group, in particular families, are now being inspired to take on the challenge of cultivating a plot.
On a busy Sunday it is common to see all the family lending a hand to dig, sow and plant and for the younger children, a chance to find the occasional worm for closer inspection. Having an allotment is great for families and it is an activity that everyone, even the kids can enjoy. Set aside a small area for the kids to sow their own seeds and you may inspire the next generation of allotmenteers for the future.
Middridge Allotments currently have plots available for new plot holders young and old looking to provide vegetables for their families. Plots of different sizes are on offer so if a full plot is too daunting, or you just don’t have the time to commit, then smaller plots are also available from as little as £15 per year so it wont break the budget either.
