lein's Allotment garden

Garden Type: Allotment | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Clay I'm Organic!

I have an allotment of about 200 m2. It is a five-minute bicycle-ride away from home. I’m not here everyday, because I live a busy life. I’m working as a librarian, so I know all the books on gardening! Furthermore I love working on the computer, making websites and doing graphic design. I also am a freelance illustrator, so I love drawing and painting too. Besides all this I have two teenage children, a partner who doesn’t like gardening very much and a very large family (with a lot of birthdays and other happenings).
So, the spare time I have, goes into gardening; it is a little miracle that everything keeps on growing without me, even the weeds ;-)
