Vieve's Georgics

...the banks all green with celery, the endive rejoicing in a rivulet; the cucumber snaking amidst the grass and swelling to greatness... (Virgil's Georgics IV:120, trans. C. Day Lewis)

Spuds in

Yesterday I planted two rows of Desiree potatoes on my Swindon allotment. I need to source more seed potatoes to plant in Lechlade. It took me about 15 minutes, then Big John arrived and we spent the rest of the hour sitting in the sunshine talking.

Nobby arrive while we were talking and I had the chance to thank him in person for rotovating my allotment.
