Members Reviews:

Extremely disappointing....

After reading the synopsis I was expecting a little more from this book. Hopefully we would hear of the 'quirkiness' of the allotment owners as well as snippets, humerous or otherwise, about the characters - people watching can be very entertaining.

Mostly we heard about the politics of owning an allotment and the pettiness of some of the councillors or decision makers, as well as when would be the best time to plant such and such a vegetable and should it be planted in manure or not !!!

Generally a disappointing book.
