It turned out dad's beans, onions and tomatoes had come along so well and they'd been munching their way through beautiful homegrown produce!

Dad's Mini Allotment - Part 1 - starring John

Dad’s mini allotment manages to provide some of their vegetables such as runner beans, onions (which we finished off a couple of months ago from last August) tomatoes (which also seem to feed family and friends too as they are never ending) and beetroot, which sadly didn’t come to anything this year. On here are photos and a video - logged from March - June 2020. Part 2 to come!

My endeavours, which could be about anything!
Usually, it entails something happening outside, me working in the garden, food, my artwork, or the latest thing I'm making or trying out.
Or I could simply be sharing about my life…
