About Me
- Name: Matron
- Location: Hillingdon, London, United Kingdom
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

Well done Leo, Bramble is jealous of the outfit. She wants me to dress her up as a Frenchman, but I told he we don't do cross dressing it will have to be a French Maid , Oh La La.
Our broad beans have gone metal. there's already a glut! no tomatoes or strawberries yet!
Wow, is Hillingdon sub-tropical then? My Broad Beans and Tomatoes are only just flowering; the fruits are still a long way off.
Leo looks very smart, but "unamused"...
the pearly costume looks such fun!
I always think it is great when first fruits start to come in... I am eagerly awaiting first tomatos... and your gooseberries make me wish I had space for a bush or two, me thinks I need a bigger allotment, and the time to manage it!
Well done! Leo deserves the prize. More treats, pleez!
Leo looks quite fancy and definitely deserving of his award.
Leo's costume is fabulous...and he wears it nicely...congrats Leo on the second place (though you really deserved a first I'm sure!)
The fruit and veggies are coming along quite well! All looking very happy and healthy in their pre-eatable state!
Second prize... Leo was robbed;-) Just out of interest what was the winning pooch dressed as?
I feel so inadequate! My broad beans are about 5 inches high and battered by pea and bean weevil. Sigh. Have loads of chive flowers though - they grow in huge amounts through my gravel path. So pretty.
Captain Shagrat - the winning pooch was a Jack Russell terrier between two hot dog buns with tomato ketchup all over his back!
Wow its a very good post. The information provided by you is really very good and helpful for me. Keep sharing good information..
Flash outfit. Congrats to you and Leo
Your fruit and veg are well ahead of mine, I was pottering in the garden yesterday and my strawberries are coming through, no tomatoes or broad beans, though there are flowers ther and Guess what, I haven't mentioned it on my blog yet - but both my father and I have our own allotment too. He has an apple tree on his and I have a gooseberry bush :) LOokign forward to growing for sure.
Leo looks incredible!
I have an update to do on the lottie after my holiday, I can't believe our broad beans either. Yay, summer is here (just got to ignore the rain!) x
Well done to a patient Leo and a creative Matron.
That outfit is Super!! Well done, Leo!
Our strawberries and tomatoes are looking just like yours...but your beans are way ahead.

Did Matron make this pearly outfit? I was in London at the right time for a day of the Pearly Kings & Queens one year. Glad Leo can join in there now. I found blossoms and more of your tomato sprouts when I returned, but no actual tomatoes, nor pumpkin sprouts. Giant slugs are out in full force. And cold weather.
