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 Edwina Sassoon).
Eureka! With help from family, friends and fellow allotmenteers, the plot has had its party frock on all month. It was short-listed for our allotments competition amongst a field of 410 plots,
trashed the night before the RHS came to judge and, though we may not be cup holders, I reckon the pictures prove a good plot is always a winner!
