Tigerella toms - fruits of Jo's allotment labours
Having dabbled with gardening for several years Jo discovered the delights of growing edibles. After filling every available container and corner with fruit and vegetable plants, Jo quickly outgrew her humble abode. An allotment was the natural progression and after a long time on the waiting list Jo finally received the keys to her first allotment. Then on April Fools Day 2009 ‘The Good Life’ blog was born, but her allotment adventures are no joke.
With her honest, detailed and helpful posts Jo has amassed a large and loyal following. Her allotment started as an overgrown plot, with a wheelbarrow, two compost bins and four water butts. Since then Jo has given us regular updates sharing her labours and rewards with friendly and informative posts. This is a great blog for comparing notes on how your vegetables are growing and sharing allotment tips.
From Tigerella tomatos to Cucino cucumbers Jo’s plot has produced an impressive array of fruit and vegetables. With the fruits of her labour Jo has cooked family favourites such as fresh blueberry muffins and created the odd genius invention such as borage ice-cubes. This blog boasts the sun-filled successes and mourns the frost-bitten failures, providing a heart felt and genuine account of Jo’s allotment labours.
For Jo’s wonderful account of allotment life and her frequent honest updates we make ‘The Good Life’ our Gardening Blog of the Week.
