The Allotment is coming!

itemprop="discussionURL"0

I got the exciting news this month that I have been allocated one of the new allotments being provided in my village.  The project at St Monans is being looked at as a model project,

with the Council working with a house-builder building a new housing estate in the village to create a great space with around 40 allotments.

Hopefully I will get access soon, to get it set up ready for planting for next season.  Watch this space!

I know of at least one allotment-holder in the CRF already (step forward Dickie!).  Does anyone else have one?

I am looking to get some research done before I get my hands on it, so if anyone has any recommendations for the best books to get, best way to set it up etc, please let me know!

Healthy Eating Week – best lunch in ages!

itemprop="discussionURL"2

Inspired by the posts about Healthy Eating Week, I ditched usual lunch options today and instead had home-made leek and potato soup (with my own home-grown leeks), accompanied by some home-made wholemeal bread.  It was the nicest workday lunch I’d had in ages and set me up well for my …
