The best weedkiller for an allottment is a hoe, used when the weeds are small. Had the seedling weeds been cleared before your deparature, they would not have swamped the plants in just two weeks.
Weedkillers are not practical when there are vegetables present.
Hand-weeding among vegetable plants and scuffling strong weeds with a spade in the alleyways are the only ways it can be done, organic or not.
On the bright side, this problem usually only happens once.
