I've just been talking to Andy Garland on BBC Radio Kent's Sunday Gardening show, talking about how your allotment suffers when you have a baby, a propos of this post. Gill of My Tiny Plot was also interviewed - she's eight months pregnant at the moment so I hope I didn't terrify her too much!
I think you should be able to listen to it if you click on the listen again link on this page.
I had planned to pop down to the plot later today during naptime for a tad of trench composting and some shallot planting, but it's been snowing - and settling - persistently for the last hour, so the jury's out at the moment.
This blurry shot taken from inside the back porch gives a flavour ...
Yaaay ...You and me both Jane. I was on Radio Kent in 2006 for National Allotment week, on Sue Dougan's Sunday Gardening show. Still the highlight of my horticutural "career" to date, unlike yourself of course..published author and journalist celebre. ;)

Glad to hear there's digging life after babies :-) I'm 8 months pregnant and just secured an allotment - so diving in headfirst now of all times is going to be something of a challenge!! And no doubt the first few months after the birth even more so, but it still seems to me something that's great to do with little kids.
