I get so proud when i bring things home in my basket ready to eat.  I too have had a bumper year.  I think this is a real boost as we all had such a rotten year last year (though i seemed to do better than most on my allotment last year for some unknown reason).

Anyway, isn't allotmnet gardening fab!

Makes it all worth the hard work doesn't it. My chest freezer is packed full already. We are just about gonna manage to finish last years blackberries before the new lot start. I make them into a sauce (pipless) and have them with bananas and yoghurt. ooooooooooooooooh
