Down to earth advice on growing your own fruit and vegetables with allotment gardener Terry Walton, from his plot in the Rhondda Valley
Down to earth advice on growing your own fruit and vegetables with allotment gardener Terry Walton, from his plot in the Rhondda Valley.

The soil is ready for the main crop carrots to go in, sowing the delicate seeds into fine compost and covering with a fine mesh.
