		<title>Gooseberries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The gooseberries which I left on the bush earlier in the year gave plumpened, ripened and have now been picked (scratched arms and all). The taste is amazing-no sugar required-with some flavoured almost like bubblegum. Odd! But tAsty. 
Still too dry, still lots of potatoes to come&#8230;

		<title>Hmmm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There I was getting quite depressed about the allotment. Probably something to do with the guilt that I haven&#8217;t actually gone down there tonight. It never seems to be as good or as well planned as other people&#8217;s, or it lacks imagination and planning (ironic given my job title has &#8216;planning&#8217; in it). But then [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strawberries!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First lot of strawberries from the back garden munched on tonight! Something&#8217;s eaten a couple of them, but the netting on them seems to be keeping off the worst of the intruders. 
A very early trip tot he allotment &#8211; 4:45 &#8211; last week got some weeding done, and we&#8217;ve got plans for fish and [...]]]></description>

		<title>June update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spent a productive two hours this morning in the sunshine. Reassured by a more experienced grower who came over to commiserate on the size of my garlic (all growth, no action) saying that its been a really bad year, and the weather has been against us. He lost most of his early garlic &#8211; so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Evening earthing!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An hour on the plot this evening spent making the most of the rain last night. Earthed up the potatoes, planted marigolds and strimmed the edges before the strimmer ran out of juice. The ground is still desperately hard, I must be one of the few people hoping for a wet bank holiday!
Oh, and signs [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dry dry dry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Its *so* dry out there. Apart from one sunday morning, it hasn&#8217;t rained properly since the potatoes went in early March. So things are really dry at the allotment and consequently things are growing v-e-r-y- s-l-o-w-l-y. Apart from the weeds, the weeds are still there  
Still, there&#8217;s signs of broad beans, and peas (although [...]]]></description>
