Digger's Diary: Tales from the Allotment (Tales from the Allotment)

With charm and a keen eye for character, Victor Osborne describes a year in the life of the community centred on the patch of allotments where he has grown his own fruit and vegetables for many years. He records his own triumphs - tasting the first peach from his own tree; disasters - the lamentable failure of the autumn-sown onions; and his struggle to maintain his organic principles. He also celebrates the eccentricities and talents of his fellow allotmenteers who form a vigorous multi-ethnic democracy, a society in which your status is measured by the quality of your produce.
