Desperately seeking…
Are you open minded, outgoing, versatile and gagging to try fresh and exciting new recipes, only to find that what you actually bag, ingredient wise, at the supermarket, is stale, monosyllabic salad; fruit that has been manhandled roughly around the shelves, and root vegetables that, flavour-wise, have been refrigerated to death. Well then this is the blog for you.
By shared knowledge and your interest, let’s aim to create a free information exchange geared up for growing our own great tasting food. At a fraction of the price of any Asda-style supermar-cartell!
Of course you could always subscribe to one of those seductive glossy monthlies! Only to find that after lots of finger and thumbing – most of it was in your (and their) heads – secondary information is never as good as that contributed by people who do the growing, make their own mistakes, learn from it and share the path to success, slugs and all.
Let’s make no bones about it, gardening and allotments for pleasure and produce is on the increase. Local authorities around the country are under pressure to provide more available sites to be used by young, old and mid-lifers, to strut their funky stuff and shake their green booties down to the ground. Growing everything from Ashmeadskernas Apples to Zebra Skin tomatoes, and then taking them home and cooking ‘em.
Nuff said, other than…
This life/work balance thing is not just restricted to MPs and PMs. It’s something that we all need to give ourselves permission to redress. Get the balance right and go for it. It may be football, hiking, macrame, kick-boxing, or indeed, if growing does if for you, them let’s ‘get it on’. Right here in the Peoples Republic of South Devon. We want to hear from real people in surreal cyberspace. Here’s your chance to make your mark, share some brilliant ideas and all learn from each other. Just what is capable by keen enthusiasts to horticulture is the south of Devon.
