As an update to my earlier post I have just realised how large Tom and Gemma’s allotment is. 30ft x 80ft. Wow.

I think our growing space is about 1ft x 10ft.

We will probably get one meal out of ours.

As we live in London we have to make use of every available cm of the space we rent. We don’t have a garden but we do have seven window boxes and are currently deciding how get the most out of them by growing a little bit of food. I wonder how much rent we are paying per window box? I wonder if we will be growing the most expensive fruit and veg we have ever had…although no…Borough Market exists for that.

So to compliment Tom Smith (who had a birthday yesterday – happy birthday!) and Gemma and their ambitious plans for their new allotment I would like to present our plans on a smaller scale. Tom and Gemma have acquired a greenhouse…we have two Tupperware bottoms, one on top of the other. Tom and Gemma have a shed…we don’t have a shed. That’s where is ends actually. But I bet they haven’t got their bed directly next to their strawberry patch.

Warning: don’t sneeze near your plans or your plants fly away.
