Thursday, 15 July 2010. Allotment Anecdotes at Snails Pace. Approaching the silly season, I am reminded of anecdotes which abound in and around the allotments:. A distinguished surgeon explains that were I to drop a snail in caustic soda, it would dissolve with the exception of the tongue which would remain intact - a serrated sword set to cut through our carefully grown leaves. I haven't put it to the test. But at an event at the Garden Museum. Posted by Joanna Cruddas. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, 22 June 2010. Perfect strawberries for Wimbledon week. It's an odd thing, but the reason I'm really proud of the strawberries I've grown at the plot this year is because they are so immaculate, they look bought. But you don't get perfection without some pretty determined action. I sprinkled Fito Slug Stoppa Granules. A 100% natural product, around each plant. On top of that went a thick layer of straw to prevent the fruit getting muddy or soggy. Next came fine mesh netting.

http://allotmentpickings.blogspot.com/2010/08/three-year-allotment-notebook-and-five.html

Tuesday, 17 August 2010. The Three-Year Allotment Notebook and the five month allotment makeover. It's been quite a month. Having failed to get the scruffy, barren plot I took over in March up to scratch by my first deadline of Chelsea Flower Show. I decided it absolutely HAD to be in order for publication by Frances Lincoln. Of the Three-Year Allotment Notebook. By Joanna Cruddas, photographs by.

Tuesday, 28 September 2010. London Allotments: A City Harvest exhibition at the Garden Museum. Back from holiday to the next excitment - the forthcoming exhibition of Edwina Sassoon's allotment photographs at the Garden Museum. After working together on the Three-Year Allotment Notebook. It's fun to move on to another related project. Looks like it'll be a stunner with Edwina's knack for catching in her pictures the incredible enterprise, imagination and artistry of allotmenteers.

Friday, 23 July 2010. It was a first on the plot to see what I think is a Five-spot Burnet flitting between my lavender and nigella. Next week is the Big Butterfly Count. What a great opportunity to spend a quiet and peaceful 15 minutes counting the butterflies and moths we see. No worries when we don't know what they are. Just take a photo and send it in for professional identification. The Big Butterfly Count Week. Runs from July 24th - August 1st. Could there be a better way to spend 15 minutes?
