I share a plot with Jenny Vaughan.  These photos feature our early attempts to grow brussels sprouts and parsnips (left), and potatoes (right).  Experts assured us that the potato crop would improve over successive years, and it has.  So have the sprouts.  Parsnips? We gave up for a while but will try again.

Organic gardening??
These slugs avoided the "organic" poisoned pellets, sneaked past my regular torch-light patrols and left their glistening trails across barriers of baked egg shells, deterrent gel and a carpet of wool pellets.  Did they climb over the copper strips round my plastic pots or do I need to construct an anti-tunneling barrier? Or just pay £1 for a  lovely organic lettuce from Walthamstow Farmers' Market!
