Welcome to Dig In

Welcome to the blog for the Dig In Community Allotment in Stapleford, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom. It's run by and for local people who like growing fruit and veg and like eating it even more! This blog is a place to share our news and experiences from the allotment, along with our favourite recipes to turn the things we grow into delicious meals.

We are the happy band currently looking after Dig In. We come from all walks of life, and several countries. Our knowledge of allotment growing ranges from expert to keen but clueless, and we have a wide range of physical abilities, but all of us do what we can, and it works!

Pumpkin Day Winners!



Congratulations to the following pumpkin exhibitors at the Annual Dig In Pumpkin Day event-

The Bradburn family - Largest pumpkin award (weighing in at 34.93 kgs).
Chris Davis' daughters - Joint winners for best dressed pumpkin.
Mystery exhibitor (unknown) - Strangest looking pumpkin.
Gary and Claire Swain - Honory prize for their misshapen pumpkin.

The event was one of our best attended so far, with around 180 adults and children (including volunteer helpers). A total of £124.67 was raised through a raffle and donations on the day, which will help towards seed, materials, tools and repairs for the next season.

Many thanks for all who attended, making Pumpkin Day a huge success. We also have some video footage of the event;
