After some time off for winter I've finally pulled my finger out and gone back to my allotment. Here it is, it's a work in progress. Let me see yours and feel free to give me any pointers.

This is a new plot that I've just taken on its next door to mine and the person just gave up so to save myself getting all the weeds I've got it, it's got a lot of fruit trees so I'm using it as a fruit garden, should look good after a bit of elbow grease

How do allotments work? Do you rent it out or is it given to you like a parking space?

I pay a yearly rent of £30 to the council, you can grow or have livestock they've deemed acceptable, mostly chickens but one guy did have 3 pigs a few years ago.
You don't even have to grow food some people use it as a garden/BBQ area or place for the kids.

Me and a mate are considering renting an allotment, though we know nothing about gardening yet. Where would be a good place to start?

Keeping it in one thread really helps everyone come together and prevent board hate (like 30 knife threads for instance.)

Start with a list of the types of foods you eat right now and their ingredients. From that make a list of the vegetables you'll need to grow to make those foods. Research the gardening methods involved in growing those specific plants. Group them into categories for when to plant and when to harvest as well as companion planting. Everything else has to do with your location, like weather, vegetable days-to-maturity vs frost dates, and temperature.
