The Potty Plotters Plotcast - Growing on the Allotment

The Potty Plotters Plotcast - Growing on the Allotment

Listen here to learn about seasonal hints and tips for your allotment or garden from us at Ashbourne Road and District Allotments Derby. We can be a tad outrageous, rude and even a bit naughty, but growing your own flowers, fruit and vegetables from seed should be fun and definitely memorable! We will teach you all you want (and need to know) coming directly from off the plot including chitting and as well as chatting to other unsuspecting folk from around site and beyond. The Plotcast is an Amberland Media production.
