I went to an open day at Knaresborough allotment site in North Yorkshire today. It was open as part of the "Feva" festival of Entertainment and Arts. They had a scarecrow competition, quiz and photo comp. and food and produce stalls. There were some great scarecrows and some lovely plots, but clearly not everybody had made an effort! Mind you they appear to have a big horsetail problem and I guess mid-August is a tricky time for an open day with holidays and being mid-harvest. Clearly a busy site, so that's the main thing!
