CLAUDE MONET ROSE
) Greetings from the land-locked state of Quarantinia! No news from the allotment this month (other than King Weed Donald has kept the weeds down and is full of beans!) as we spent August in France. We were visiting friends in the Vendee who have been growing their own squashes and lovely roses like ‘Claude Monet’.

VITTEAUX
We travelled across to the Alsace stopping at Vitteaux (some ideas below if you only have a small space out front) and Flavigny-surOzerain where Chocolat was filmed (no sign of Johnny Depp).
MEDLAR
ALSACE WINE REGION
The Alsace is a renowned wine region and we did a fair amount of tasting and purchasing of the local produce. The villages in the area make the most of small spaces and fill them with flowers or growing tomatoes and chili peppers. Back in the Vendee we visited an arboretum where we found a Portuguese Quince and a Medlar.
If your outside space tends to get waterlogged you could always nurture a lily pond, which rather gives me the impression we’re back with Claude!
LILY POND
Many thanks to King Weed Donald and Tina Thyme for help etc. PS Now’s the time to get your onions, garlic and spring bulbs in.
