Pumpkin Soup

a weblog with an allotment attached

23 September 2007

On this day

In 2006, the composer Sir Malcolm Arnold died, and I was excitedly planning a bumper garlic harvest. I hope the two events are unrelated.

I did, as planned, plant vast quantities of garlic, but never harvested them due to my total abandonment of the allotment. The new Potager means that I am making similar plans this year, but I expect to see them through. Rather than planting quite such a gargantuan amount though, I have instead ordered a more modest number of bulbs. Still, it should be enough for some pretty stinky breath.

    I read that as “composter Sir Malcolm Arnold”. Not being a muso, I only discovered my gaff when I googled him to see what he had had to say on the subject. Not a lot, I can tell you.

    That would have made it a far more interesting post.
