February produces an abundance of leeks; May brings forth the first spears of asparagus. June's courgettes demand endless recipes; August's blight strikes the tomatoes. October sees beans soaking in home-made broth, red wine and barley. December's branches 'die back', yet life still stirs under the soil.
The Allotment Diaries documents a year of growing, pickling and unknowingly saying a last goodbye. Above all, it is a melodious, nourishing month-by-month portrait of the earth we all have in common.
