CHRISTINE McHugh casts her eye over her allotment.
Tucked away behind a row of garages off a housing estate in Norden, Rochdale, it's a relatively small plot.

"I've got potatoes in the bags. There's tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse. I try to grow things that are expensive or that you can't get in the supermarket. Once you've had fresh sweetcorn you'll never have it from the shop again."
