Holidays

How will the allotment cope when we are away on holiday. It was bad enough leaving it for the weekend to visit mum in Devon.

The ground is definitely fertile. Weeds are shooting up and testing our organic credentials as we look at the unwanted growth and mutter darkly about weedkiller being a great idea.

But this allotment is about good food, so pesticides and the like are forever banished. I will use the ground but I will not abuse it.
