The sun shines once again at Sandridge Road Allotments as Karin get to grips with her new headset and the pair try to improve the sound quality! They reflect on their week on the plot, planting in the gooseberries, popping along to Festival of Permaculture with You Tube's Huw Richards, and Vicky gets a little political talking about Chris Packham's Environmental Protest.

September is proving to be a flurry of activity on the plots, chopping and dropping, prepping the beds, pruning and planting the fruit trees and generally loving life at the allotment as we move into autumn.
