Remember the climate change allotment? Well of course you don't...why would you. It was a marvellous idea I had a while back, forgetting that I had another 16.75 acres, a few jobs and a family to accommodate. It was one of my better ideas, honest...have a look



After lying dormant, I've quietly got on with mulching the whole place out and even got the few things planted - including the Rubus specabilis, below, which has already started flowering. I've got the pre-tea wobbles, so I'm off for some toast, and will explain how the allotment and the forest garden are planned differently when my blood sugar has been reinstated. Or indeed, after the footie.
