For about the last year or so I have been writing a series of articles for the Odinic Rite entitled the Idunn Project, the basis of these articles is to provide an insight into allotment holding and growing one’s own fruit and vegetables as organically as possible.
I thought I would start a thread with a few photographs of what I have done over recent months for those who are interested.
This is a pic of what I harvested this morning:

Carrots (not a bad crop this year, couple of leeks for Sunday roast, a cucumber and a marrow, the tomatoes are Stoner and theb segmented one's are Brandy Wine).
These are my plumb trees loaded down with plumbs (my freezer is full of them):

This picture was take in early August, it's September now and the trees are pretty bare.
French/Runner Beans, bumper crop this year, again my freezer is full of them:

These are my onions I harvested about late July, early August:

Strawberry plants, I took cuttings off my neighbour ready to be planted in the fruit cage I am currently working on:

Below are just a few pic's of the allotment from various angles:

In this one, the land just beyond the fence with the shed at the botom is what I recently acquired:

The shed, every man needs one, I now have a gas stove for making tea, bliss:

I've really enjoyed being an allotment holder, it's not just growing your own food it's also being in tune with the natural cycles of the earth as well.:)
