Since the early days of the allotment we were determined to grow only from seed. We’d soon stopped with potatoes and alliums, mainly due to blight and the small size of the plot. We focused on peas, beans, leaf and root crops, herbs and flowers. Seed seemed the way to go.
Our one constant exception was sweet peas, which were kickstarted for us in Fern Verrow farmer Jane Scotter’s Hereford greenhouse and later delivered on the fruit and vegetable run.
