Pride and Joy





Here are some photos of the allotment for those I've been promising them to for a while... They represent much hard work...patience, perseverance, laughter, and rhythms of joy.

rhubarb & gooseberry bushes,
Potato and beans
onions and carrots
Cabbages & Brussels sprouts with a net... broccoli in foreground.

Of course this represents only about a third :-) The rest is there in wilderness state waiting....

It is hard to describe the satisfaction in creativity, planting, earth, tilth, sun, rain... the seeming miracle of a seed growing. We are eating more broad beans than I knew existed at the moment... all from tiny mother seeds. Incredible.

And now, to create a paper....

Superb! It has been such a long time since I have been down there that I thought the phots were of next door's allotment!
You guys deserve success from all the hard work you have put in. I also know that you will make extremely tasty meals from your fresh produce.
