Blog Of The Month - August

This year, I'm dedicating one post each month to Blog Of The Month. This is where I feature a blog I'm enjoying reading. Some blogs will be new to me, others may be blogs I've been reading for a while. I hope that by doing this, I can introduce some of my readers to other, interesting blogs, though I know that some of you will already read the blogs I feature.

This month, I've chosen a blog I've been reading for a number of years as my Blog Of The Month. An Urban Veg Patch is written by Caro who grows veg, fruit and flowers in a community garden in London. Her blog posts are a mix of what's growing in the gardens, yummy recipes, book reviews, garden themed days out and topical environmental issues.

Last year, Caro embarked on a part-time garden design course at Capel Manor and she'll be returning again after the summer break. I wish her lots of luck with that as it sounds like she's enjoying it very much.

If you haven't yet discovered Caro's blog, do pop across and have a read. The most recent post, What's Killing Our Bees?, provides food for thought and is definitely worth a read. Don't forget to tell Caro that I sent you.

  1. Another blog friend of mine as well. Her posts are always enjoyable, informative and often a little bit different thanks to her city environment. Flighty xx

    1. I don't read about any other community gardens, they don't seem to be as common here in England as they are in the US, so as you say, the posts are always a bit different to other blogs I read. I'm glad you're enjoying Caro's posts too.
