Following the death of her grandfather, Jemima is handed the keys to his allotment. As she is currently taking a sabbatical from her job, she decides to take over the allotment and spend her time working on the land. She also has chickens to look after.
At the same time Melissa comes to the top of the allotment waiting list and is given the opportunity to take over an allotment which has not been cared for for a long time. Her husband works away on an oil rig and she works part time at the local college, so she has a few days each week free to try to tame the allotment and start to grow her own produce.
Both women are taken under the wing of Dottie, an 80 year old who only grows flowers on her allotment and dusts at the local Manor House one day a week.
Many of the folks on the allotments have a lot to say about what the ladies should and shouldn't be doing and how to go about growing prize winning vegetables.
