ALLOTMENT LIFE GET GROWING
One of the advantages of wintry days and long nights is the opportunity it gives us gardeners to do something that we rarely have time for during the mad throes of the growing season – and that is to dream! How many of us have snuggled up by the fire and started poring over seed catalogues, well-thumbed books and favourite gardening magazines with pictures of next year’s garden dancing through our minds? It will be better than the previous year, there will be no pests or diseases and the weather will do exactly as it’s told. And so it was that last year’s dream started to unfold.
