Lovely article about the lady who does the FOI research into allotments.

"When people get a plot, I tell them to try and see it as taking on a pet – it needs as much attention as a puppy. I spend up to 24 hours a week weeding, watering, harvesting. " she says

Good grief, my puppy would die of boredom if I only gave her 24 hours attention a week!!!

Mine would dig the allotment for me if I gave her that little attention - or maybe the neighbouring plot!
