Matron grows vegetables and fruit in a Hampshire garden. I've been growing veggies since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Some traditional varieties and old favourites as well as new ideas. I share my garden with my allotment assistant Daisy the Labrador. On Twitter as @MatronsVeggies
Medlars are a relative of the rose hip. This small brown fruit can only be eaten when it has started to decay and rot. Before this they are way too hard - afterwards they have a very sweet flavour. You can see the resemblance to a rose hip. The French call the medlar "un bout de chien" - literally translated - "dog's bottom"..... just take a look!

I was born 20 yards from our allotment. My parents used to 'dig for victory' and never got out of the habit. I grew up on an allotment, so growing veggies is a way of life. I am also qualified as a dog behaviourist and I have set up my own business, www.blackdogdna.com
