My first allotment, and then one thing leading to another…
The allotment is a disaster, and it doesn’t help seeing it after a shower when the fattest slugs I have ever seen are all happily out and about.
However, there was a single purple aubergine flower whose assertive beauty is such I cannot describe: I wish I had a camera with me, as I doubt the mobile phone’s rendition will do it any justice.

I got the first allotment in 2007 (in the UK) and started growing my own food for the first time. Learning as I went along was not enough, so I studied some horticulture. I am striving to abide by organic principles. Brexit gave me a new life in the Netherlands, and two new plots by a nature reserve.
