The Allotment

You see there's a really interesting looking picture and a really dull title 'The Allotment'. Sadly I think my days of post-modern discourse are all behind me and I'd rather spend the day at the allotment.
While we were getting ready to go out to some art thing last night my sister who's staying with us came across a gardening progarmme on Discovery called 'The Allotment'. It was only the idea that my sister might have thought even less of us that meant we still went out to see art (in this case a looped piece on 35mm neg with a big scratch along it projected via a video camera and a digital projector).

There are only cliches available to describe alloment gardening: the people are really friendly and helpful (actually they're also quite bitchy which is a real saving grace of the thing); stuff you've grown yourself tastes so-much better (with the exception of the tomatoes last year which were a real disappointment everything else was much nicer). If nothing else it means me and Yol can get some fresh air while we bicker away and try and take charge of the relationship. So far this year we have planted carrots, parsnips, leeks, onion and shallot sets, broad beans, garlic, artichokes. I'll put some more pictures up soon.
