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
Happy Birthday Ted! Eighty six years old today so I thought I would bring him out for a day-trip in the garden.
Inspecting the sweetcorn, not quite ready yet. Maybe another couple of weeks.
Lovely sunflower, ripening well in this hot sun.
Ted doesn't come out much these days.
Happy Birthday!

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
