Allotments are a fantastic way to grow your own produce and reap the rewards of your hard work. But you can grow so much more than you may have thought! Many people use their allotments for growing potatoes, carrots and beans but allotments allow you to grow so much more! Here is a list of some plants you may not think about growing on an allotment:
• Sunflowers for the seeds
• Herbs
• Kale
• Pat choy
• Avocado
• Aubergine
