A couple of photographs taken yesterday to demonstrate the “stranger side” of the hobby. The first (above) is an experiment at the Weeds HQ using the old “bananas let off ethylene gas which ripens tomatoes quicker” trick on one the plants in the raised beds. Instead of a whole one we could only find a banana skin (someone had ate the last banana!) That’s better than nothing ain’t it? The neighbours will question our sanity but what’s new? Will it work or won’t it? We’ll keep you posted.

And yesterday we noticed this great collection of (lost?) gardening gloves on one of the gates of One Tree Hill Allotments. We do love a gardening glove here but we’re also wondering what is the real reason for this dadaesque artwork? Suggestions on a postcard please. #lockdownlunacy
