You've had some really good advice from Supersprout and Hedgie. They're right. April is not too late at all. I started a new allotment in May last year and had a great harvest. They're also right when they advise you don't go mental. You've got a young child and you're moving house so you're not goi...

She's dead right. You need to work stacks and stacks of organic matter into it. You can't overdo it. The more the merrier. It won't happen overnight but if you can really work loads of manure, compost, anything you can get into it, it will be much improved in a year or two. And try spuds. Spuds are ...

Have you registered them with Veg Box Schemes ? Anyone can register a scheme, you don't have to be the owner, and leave a review. Their database is getting pretty full now so you can type in your postcode and it will show you the nearest box schemes to you, plus reviews. It's a really useful resource.

I did some experiments yesterday and the results are posted on my blog . In upshot, I already knew that washing balls are about as good as detergent.

But I love apricots cooked with chicken dishes (or quorn) and chickpeas (it's true, I'm a cannibal) and spices like cumin and cinnamon...

Heh, Muddy. Now now, 60 million French people can't be wrong. That mirrors my experiences with garlic, Jack. I stick it in the ground, it shoots up, grows healthy and happy, the leaves go brown and fall over and when I dig it up there's no bulb below. Boo. Believe it or not I'm trying again this yea...
