This year along with many households up and down the country I have gone “back to the land” and turned a big section of the garden over to veg growing. Whilst the potatoes and peas have been successful I have not had so much success with lettuce and beans. However the cherry tree this year has produced a bumper crop.

So big in fact I went onto our Bath Freecycle site to get a small chest freezer which is now half full already with yoghurt pots full of cooking cherries. I am an active member of the Transition Bath Food Group and we have launched a successful Garden Share project which is allowing people without gardens to grow veg in gardens that were simply not being used or tended for whatever reason.
