Community gardens don't quite fill the gap for a family serious about vegetable production. The City's allotment garden sites are still in operation, yet it is impossible to find contact information on the City website, and even if you find the number, the waiting lists are long. Plots, such as the allotments at the foot of Leslie Street, are becoming as precious as cottage properties on Toronto Island. New allotment sites should be created and it should be simple for interested gardeners to find them.
