Allotment woes

 This was going to be a post about how well the allotment is doing right now.

Unfortunately, it has now become a post about some bastard who stole most of our rhubarb (and badly damaged the plants in the process) nicked the only ripe squash and helped him/her self to all the ripe courgettes.

I hope s/he chokes on it - though given the amount of rhubarb taken, they must have been stealing to sell.

There are plots available on our site (the short term future with regard to property developers has greatly reduced the waiting list), so there is not even the excuse that the thief has nowhere to grow their own produce.

Bastard.

Bastard indeed - I hope they get severe stomachache (though like you said, they will probably sell it).

We don't have the allotment system here (we don't have the small gardens, for a start, ours is a quarter acre on a corner) so the few things we do grow are in the back yard...
