The fruitful outdoors

Today, I literally mean 'fruitful' because my early morning walk took me past some local allotments, and I was amazed by the size of the area given over to growing an enormous variety of fruit and vegetables.











I was also amazed by the beautiful floral displays on some allotments, I don't associate allotments with flowers for some reason.


I'd like to think this is for me, but I know that in real life I wouldn't make it happen, for now at least. My home-grown tomatoes have been pretty fruitless, maybe a kilo in total from about a dozen plants, and I await the peppers in hope, although slugs seem to have got at quite a few of them. Maybe next year I'll stick to herbs!
