Mr Rodgers said his father nurtured the same allotment for as long as he could remember.
He said: “When I was 13, he actually gave me a little plot on the end of his and I used to put my own little leeks, potatoes, carrots, everything in. All little tiny rows.
“And then as life went on my little plot got a bit bigger and bigger and eventually I had my own allotment.
“It’s enjoyable and you eat what you produce and it’s so good, it’s fresh… it’s good for the soul, no doubt about that.”
Mr and Mrs Rodgers each grow different crops on their separate plots, and have their own sheds.
Mr Rodgers said: “I just enjoy being outside, out in the fresh air.”
