Turnips have been good, although not enough! Address ne...

Being a vaguely true account of the trials and tribulations of a man and his allotments, a garden and the world at large. Monday, October 17, 2011. I thought something had happened. Possibly it was the long line of people wandering around the allotments whipping themselves, and calling on god, or as you know him the chair of the allotment committee, to give salvation, or maybe it was those four horse men that cantered through the other day. But I definitely thought something was up. Another success were ...

chthonosis: June 2011
http://twoallotments.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Being a vaguely true account of the trials and tribulations of a man and his allotments, a garden and the world at large. Thursday, June 16, 2011. I'm off to the allotment to pick some of the Munchen Beer radish pods. The roots are quite fiery, and the pods are supposed to be quite peppery as well.
