Allotment News

Yesterday afternoon my dog Billy I went to my allotment. I harvested leeks, broccoli, peas, a huge cauliflower and lots of silverbeet. Then Graham, who has the allotment next to mine, told me that he was going to South America for four weeks, and I can have all his broadbeans when they are ready to pick. He also gave me a huge bunch of rhubard and a bunch of white daisies before he roared off on his Harley.

Billy checked out all the other allotments, chased all the birds away and found something disgusting to roll in.

We had poached rhubard with yoghurt for dinner, and I made soup from the leeks, some chicken stock I found in the refrigerator, and some of those little pasta that are shaped like rice. That's today's lunch.

Then I planted tomatoes, capsicums and lettuce, and we dragged our bag of produce home.
