Down on the Allotment

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

My Gardening Companion

 Everyone should have a gardening companion! Daisy has been helping out in my new courtyard garden for about 6 weeks now.
 She has been helping me by eating sticks, chewing moss, nibbling leaves and by occasionally eating big, fat, juicy slugs!! (I make sure that her wormy, parasite medications are up to date!)
She is now 15 weeks old and growing in confidence and in stature every day.

She is a delight, Matron, just as your beloved Buddy and Leo were! I bet she keeps you on your toes!

Adorable! I'm not sure I'd get any work done with her as a companion!

Bonny girl. Funny how many dogs get that uneasy feeling when a camera is pointed at them.

I can see her growth even since I last looked. She's doing just fine!

She is heavenly. I have a Daisy too. I am much enjoying my climbing courgette on your recommendation amongst others. Thankyou for a lovely positive inspiring blog.

Loving the Daisy updates on Facebook, she's a wee dote and a very intelligent pup indeed xx

Daisy is such a beauty, i envy you and one day hope to have a garden companion like Daisy, but as neither or myself or my husband are at home - most hours at work - we feel it would be unfair to adopt a dog at this point, but we will do one day - for now I will admire the charms of gorgeous dogs like Daisy.
