The ups, the downs and the insides out of growing your own in 2026!

I will be joining in as and when I get time to post. 
This will be my 20th year having an allotment. Not sure where that time has gone and I still dont class myself as an expert by any means.
The things I have done best with are strawberries and raspberries. I have potted up lots of strawberry runners (around 200} and will be selling some in the spring to hopefully cover the cost of my plot, seeds and compost. I like my growing to be cost neutral then feel like my produce is free food.
Will be growing everything I can this year and hopefully actually getting to use some of the asparagus that started cropping this year. My problem was that there wasnt enough to harvest at any one time to do anything with but someone on here said you can store it in water until there is enough for what you want so will give that a go.
Good luck everyone!

When you say your asparagus started cropping this year, I oresume you have let it crop and seed twice before reaching that stage in year three @Kantankrus_Mare? I presume you know it needs to put on the root growth before you begin taking some to eat?
