How Handy!


This book arrived on Monday. As you can see it was just in time for last month's Allotment Show - not. First published in 1953 (this is the seventh edition, updated this year), it contains many gems of advice to potential exhibitors, such as trimming fingernails prior to picking fruit or vegetables to prevent damage.

I ordered it on August 3rd - next time I'll order directly from the RHS instead of Amazon.

Hi, let's start a conversation - right here, right now! I love reading your comments and thoughts about my blog :)

If anyone is having problems leaving comments, you can contact me on vegplotting at gmail dot com or @malvernmeet if a quick tweet is more convenient for you. That way I can get things sorted.

Thanks xxx

My general policy re comments

I value genuine commenters for the conversation they bring. Those aiming to link back and give credence to commercial websites (thankfully rare) will be removed.

Blog posts are kept open for your Comments for as long as possible - for at least 3 months. I've reluctantly taken the decision if a post comes in for a sp@m attack after that time, I'll remove its Comments facility. I've found genuine comments are rarely left after 3 months, but dozens of sp@m comments are :( Removing these takes away the joy that a genuine comment might be left one day.
