From Plot to Pot is a practical guide to growing and cooking organic fruit and vegetables from a no-dig allotment in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The site follows the journey from seed to plate — sharing what’s grown on the plot and how to use it in the kitchen. Everything is based from my real experience at the Lauriston Agroecology Farm Community Allotments.
The aim is simple: grow good food, waste less, and make the most of what the plot produces throughout the seasons.
Whether you’re a new allotment holder, a container grower, or just looking for fresh recipe ideas, you’ll find tried-and-tested advice drawn from real experience on the plot.
