My name’s Lucy Crosbie and I’m a first-time allotment owner…and this is my online diary. I’m aiming to chart my progress re-developing my allotment - no. 27 on the Burras site in Otley, West Yorkshire.

Although I’ve never done this before I always had a penchant for Gardener’s Question Time…Anyway keep checking back as I plan to post at least once a twice a month with what I’m sowing, planting, harvesting and hopefully cooking!

And just in case you wondered why I called my blog “Ragged Radishes”, well that want the first vegetable I ever grew and if I’m honest they were pretty ragged - let’s hope I have more success this time round.
