I love the peace and quiet at the allotment. It’s a five minute walk from home, there is a micro climate which means it’s always warmer than at home, it’s full of amazing produce and colour and it does me good.

Today I planted 22 baby leeks that we have been given (Thank you, you two!), picked some ripe and nearly ripe tomatoes, picked Rhubarb for Different-every-time pudding , checked on the Patty Pans for more ready to pick and recouped from a busy morning.

Our neighbour on the next plot has some beautiful Sunflowers.
