We started our allotment after Easter this year after growing in the garden and running out of room now the garden has been neglected, we have just started putting the veg beds back to shrubs and plants hoping to make it low maintenance and just concentrate on the greenhouse at home with the veg and fruit at the allotment, really looking forward to planting out properley in the spring.

I know the feeling about serving two masters! I am thinking of moving my raspberries from the allotment to the garden as they need picking daily and I haven't had time this year. I have tomatoes, sweet peppers,blackberries and letuces in the garden rather than on the allotment, and it seems to work pretty well.
