By Terry Walton
0 - Default Title
Description
Terry Walton has kept an allotment in the Rhondda Valley in South Wales for over fifty years. He started when he was four helping on his father's plot on the side of the mountain cutting bracken and collecting sheep manure to feed the vegetables.
He was farming his own plot at eleven and he went on to build an allotment empire selling his vegetables and flowers to local customers. The proceeds paid for his first car a canary yellow Ford Popular when he was just seventeen. Then in 2006 after half a decade of happy gardening Terry's allotment was adopted by the Jeremy Vine Show and he became an unlikely media star.
In this absorbing and entertaining memoir Terry documents how the valley has changed over the years his own conversion to organic gardening and the colourful characters he meets; interspersing his anecdotes with topical tips family recipes and quirky line drawings.
My Life on a Hillside Allotment is the perfect read for gardeners allotmenteers and anyone who loves the great outdoors.
