Top of the plots: The 'unique' London allotment

This is not an allotment, this is a show garden worthy of the Chelsea Flower Show, I thought to myself as I entered through a hidden gate in Barnet, north London. A sweeping tunnel of more than 100 fruit and flower trees led temptingly towards more secrets and surprises tucked away in Steve Mills' plot, which he has been tending to for 14 years.

My family has lived on a farm for 15 years. This lifestyle isn't easy, but it's been great for my kids.

Some kids start their mornings with cereal and cartoons, but my daughters start theirs with rubber boots and feed pails. In 2010, I moved to a cattle and grain farm in east-central Alberta, Canada, to be with my now-husband. Fifteen years later, our two daughters - who are 13 and 12 - have never known another home. Life here is unconventional, especially compared to my previous lifestyle in the city, because there's always work to do.

Soil in need of some love? Sow green manure in your garden and you'll reap the benefits

I'm six months pregnant and horribly overwhelmed, so I've enlisted the help of a local gardener to tackle the more pernicious intruders (such as green alkanet, which leaves my ankles feeling bitten whenever I hang out the washing, and some of the many robinia saplings that have appeared from the neighbour's great big, beautiful tree) while leaving the good stuff behind. Then, in the patches that open up, I'll be sowing green manure.

The timing allows for water to work its way down to plant roots before the sun gets too strong. Midday watering often results in faster evaporation from the soil's surface, which is not only wasteful but also unhelpful to plants. Watering in the evening risks the opposite: Without sufficient sunlight for evaporation, excess moisture becomes trapped within and between plants, creating a perfect breeding ground for mold, mildew and fungal diseases.
