The veg volunteers

This organic allotment lark really is catching on this year.

Yesterday had Alan Johnson banging on about fathers and children working together on allotments and tomorrow, our sister publication, the Guardian's Weekend magazine, is running a piece which looks interesting, especially for those people who don't have a garden, are still on their local allotment waiting list, and want to get their hands dirty and learn about growing vegetables.

It's about a number of volunteer organic allotments around the country which offer communities a chance to get involved, from Brighton to Torquay, Essex to Newcastle.

They've kindly agreed to let our allotmenteers have a look at it early. Find it here.

Don't say we don't look after you on the blog.
