In mint condition

 The mint is flourishing

Volunteer Elaine says that the smell of mint reminds her of her Aunt Bessie's house in the Mexboroughs.  Do you have a plant which evokes memories?

 Give peas a chance

The peas are almost ready to harvest.  Can anyone recommend a recipe or do you prefer them plain, even just from the pod?

 Strawberries and Wimbledon; perfect combination.

Magic

Soil, seeds, sunshine and water and hey presto!

Rain or Shine

The bees love our Giant chives

We visit the allotment regularly whatever the weather.  It's amazing what a session of a couple of hours can accomplish, whether it's planting, weeding, watering or just enjoying the peace and quiet.
