My first allotment, and then one thing leading to another…

I have been away: what will I find when I finally manage to get back to the plot?
Weather in my town has been forcasted as sunny and sunny and sunny… Transplanted seedlings might not be too happy with that.

M.Paola, that’s me
I got my first allotment in the UK in 2007 and started growing my own food. Learning as I went along was not enough, so I studied horticulture. Faced with the horticultural warfare, I became a conscientious objector: I use no chemicals and support organic principles and regulations.
Brexit gave me a new life in the Netherlands, three new plots by a nature reserve and an MSc in sustainable food systems.
I write in my personal capacity and, as a language perfectionist and a non native speaker, I keep reviewing my entries’ text for clarity.
