I've just published a page about how my allotment did in 2014.

I took over my allotment plot in January 2012, at the start it was just a grazed field, covered in grass and weeds. I dug 2/3s of it in January/February and had a very productive summer.
The story of 2012 can be found on the Dores website Dores Allotments
This blog takes up the story in Spring 2013

Onions From Seed
Always grown my onions from sets in the past and they've been reasonably successful, but I read on the internet this year that they do better from seed.
I thought they might stuggle to mature in the shorter Highland summer, but I've had a wonderful crop this year.
I laid them out on a wire frame in the greenhouse for several weeks to allow them to dry out properly, and they're now in onion sacks stored under the house ready for when we need them.
