My brother has an allotment, they also have quite a large back garden in the north-east of England. I think it's more to do with getting away from home and meeting with like-minded individuals in his case. I thought allotments were for northerners to get away from the dark satanic mills and/or the wife :-) |

Having looked at the plot the chicken are on, I would eat anything green too - mine are primarily on grass.

There are community gardens and rented allotments here too. I think they are a lovely idea. My hens wouldn't touch silverbeet at all. Mind you neither would I . Ugh! Friend up the road gave hers chopped pumpkin which they noshed into when they felt like it. Know several folk back in the UK keeping a couple of hens in their back gardens as it is allowed per bylaws. I rather like the couple of pals whose hens house in an eglu. I rather like the look and materials used but think wouldn't be OK for the sun conditions here. Not sure if they are fed skinned cucumbers though :lol: |

Yeah, how the other half live - they have to rent an allotment instead of having it in their own back garden ;)

Re: Cucumber News
Some rather juicy cucumber news has just landed on my desk at Cucumber HQ.
People keep finding cucumbers at '50 Shades Darker' screenings I bet no one is leaving cucumbers behind in NZ. |

Prices may be higher at the moment due to bad weather in NZ and Australia.

You might have discovered the world's most expensive cucumber, I'll try and get hold of Norris McWherter to confirm.
I cannot remember if cucumbers were served at all. |
