]]> Comment on Beech Park Vegetable Allotments, Beech Park, Clonsilla, Dublin 15. by Alice Whyte http://www.allotments.ie/?p=292#comment-18113 Alice Whyte Sun, 05 Dec 2010 16:00:03 +0000 http://www.allotments.ie/?p=292#comment-18113 Hi All, I started growing vegetables and fruit in my back garden 10 years ago and I love it. What I do miss though is the companionship of having like-minded people to talk to. The great advantage to growing in your own garden is that if you fancy carrots or peas for dinner all you have to do is walk outside into your back garden and pick them. I think that allotments all over the Dublin/Kildare areas that were being rented during 2010 were frighfully expensive. Now that the Celtic Tiger is well and truly dead it will be interesting to see if next year's prices are reduced considerably.
