Allotment Life


I've been growing vegetables on a city allotment since 2008, and keeping ex-battery hens since April 09. Prior to this, my experiance with horticulture was restricted to killing houseplants. As much as I've learned, I'm still a novice experimenting, making mistakes, and having surprising successes. So as another year begins, I thought it'd be fun to blog and photograph life and productivity at the allotment. If you're in the UK, and want to know more about allotments including how to get one, try visiting this site: Allotment Growing and The National Society of Allotment and Lesiure Gardeners.

A little snap-happy this afternoon. Summer was in the kitchen while the rain outside watered the plants.
