February produces an abundance of leeks; May inspires blackberry ketchup. June's glut of courgettes demands endless recipes; August's blight strikes the tomatoes. October sees beans soaking in home-made broth, red wine and barley. December's branches 'die back', yet life still stirs under the soil.

The Allotment Diaries follows the year Thom joined his father on the allotment. It is a year of growing and pickling, musing on wildness and cultivation, documenting his family's odd yearly rituals, and unknowingly saying a last goodbye. Above all, it is a melodious, nourishing month-by-month portrait of the earth we all have in common.
