    Sarah, when my husband died I lost my house and now live in an RV (caravan to you). I’m fine with no house, but I miss my huge yard, trees, garden, flowers and plants. Watching you at the allotment gives me such wonderful feelings of joy and peace! You’re doing a great job! Thank you.

    The only bit of advice I can give that works in all climates is don’t over crowd. I know your space is limited but it will produce well providing animals don’t eat the plants. I have been gardening for well over 50 years from very large gardens to my now small space. We don’t have much of a problem with slugs and snails but the ground hogs are the great destroyers. A ground hog is a large furry rodent. My husband caught 7 this year and took them down to the tree lined riverside and released them. Remember don’t over crow. There is a tendency to do so in small spaces. We also have an issue with bind weeds. We have planted our sweet corn in rows for years., just like the farmers plant field corn in rows.

    Its getting exciting now things are starting to grow. Beer traps are a good idea, you just need yog pots or something similar and put a drop of beer or cider in them and that will keep the slugs happy and merry. You do have to replenish from time to time especially when it rains.🌽🌽🌽
