Home-grown pears are best eaten in the bath - they're so juicy, it's the easiest way to stay clean!

Modern life is, for most of us, a kind of serfdom to mortgage, job and the constant assault to consume. Although we have more time and money than ever before, most of us have little sense of control over our own lives. It is all connected to the apathy that means fewer and fewer people vote. Politicians don’t listen to us anyway. Big business has all the power; religious extremism all the fear. But in the garden or allotment we are king or queen. It is our piece of outdoors that lays a real stake to the planet.

It varies by allotment but that's about a 40 to 65 percent reduction.

A person does not become clean and pure enough that they are then worthy of God's love and are exalted. God's love makes them pure and clean enough to then be exalted.

We're hoping they'll rejuvenate the pear market.

Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were--Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, and Peter.
