Harvesting the produce is the number one satisfaction of the gardening year. Often the sweet-tasting fruit of our success comes in quantities that are very hard to deal with and a lot the surplus is handed out to various friends and acquaintances.
Always, when our hard laboured hands touch and feel the newly harvested vegetables, the lift to the spirits is almost indescribable.
Sadly as soon as our produce is ready and ripe for eating, there is a glut of theses type of fruit and vegetables in the supermarket, available at very cheap prices.

The incredible natural taste of home-grown food and the many other benefits of managing an allotment, is the draw that keeps the committed "allotmenteer" hard at work, and coming back for more of the same, year after year.
