Allotment Diaries

Anyone who s ever spent their weekends, evenings and even lunchtimes at the allotment will delight in Kay Sexton s stories of life at the Voodoo Plot and the entertaining characters that keep her amused throughout the year. As the plot thickens and the growers thrive or struggle to flourish, there s an abundance of year-round horticultural advice for any kitchen gardener, with month-by-month sections on sowing and growing, crop care and allotment tasks, what to harvest and tried and tested seasonal recipes. Along with numerous helpful tip boxes, Kay s diary takes you through a year in the life of an allotment site, from mulching to munching and everything in between.
