"I don't believe it!" Some thieving barsteward has stolen my sprouts. Stripped them bare on a couple of plants.Think it must have been children as it looks like they made their escape via a small gap in the hedge (now blocked with chicken wire). Hard to believe as most kids hate sprouts.
They were my best sprouts too that I was saving for a dinner party I am holding for a couple of townies that are over in a couple of weeks. Mind you - the thief might not be so impressed if he were to know the reason that these sprouts were the best. They were part of an experiment (which was having good results) - we don't have any loos on our allotment site and my house is a 10 minute walk. 'nuff said I think.
Today was a nice warm day and I got two rows of broad beans planted and a bit more clearing and digging done.

A sprout thief!?? What next? Is there nothing sacred in this bloody country any more?
I remember reading a newspaper story about allotments in Germany during the recession there in the 1990s. Apparently theft of food from plots became a significant problem at that time.
Is sprout theft perhaps a sign of imminent recession, do you think?
