Apologies to regular readers for my low blog count of late.

It's been a hectic few months away from the allotment, which unfortunately has struggled to recover from the summer's heavy rains...causing waterlogging which in turn unleashed a monstrous explosion in the slug population.

In fact I have to admit I'm dreading going down to the Vale and finding out just how bad it is ...the last I knew the tomatoes were coming on strong but pretty much everything else had been destroyed - either rotted by mini-floods or munched by the gastropods.
