Robin and Steve got talking one night and thought how good it would be to get an allotment and grow some of their own vegetables. Each thinks that it was originally the other's idea. Neither of them was all that keen on vegetables and didn't even know a great deal about gardening, but they took on the allotment, got it into a reasonable shape and grew a decent crop or two in their first year. When you say it quickly like that it sounds like a relatively simple task, but it cost blood, sweat, minor injuries, bad language and quite a few tears.
