Ancient allotment dweller, beer and music fan with the occasional confused album review...

Spud fest on the allotment. A couple of rows of first early Rocket. Despite the drought & lack of rain water a good sized crop.

New Orleans Jazz from a genius. The Hot Fives & Sevens beautifully remastered by R.T. Davies. Essential listening for anyone interested in the history of Jazz..

The late James Carr the greatest Deep Soul singer of them all. 28 wonderful tracks you can hear the Church in his voice..

@MarkyOatcake Great transformation Mark. Allotments bring out the best in people.. 🙏

[JIM YOUNG @Jimsdelusion]

@MarkyOatcake Will look a treat when done. Would cost a fortune to buy it by the bag from a garden centre!

@lady_valor_07 Fried bread. Not the toast shown!

Recorded at the 100 Club in 1975. The Stan Tracey Quartet play to a wildly appreciative audience. One of the great live sets from a legendary band..

@mgcrazykev Couldn’t agree more. Around here they start a fortnight before the 5th & continue a fortnight after!🙄

Allotment tranquility. Sanity in a world gone mad!

Celeriac going nicely. Started these way back in modules in February. A very slow grower but should be worth the wait. Runner beans have reached the top of the poles but slow to produce any pods worth picking yet. Drought conditions haven’t helped, you can’t beat rainwater.

[JIM YOUNG @Jimsdelusion]

Butternut Squash creeping forward. Takes up a lot of ground. Next year I will train them up a trellis to save space.

[JIM YOUNG @Jimsdelusion]

Fingers crossed for a good Spud fest. Foliage looks healthy but yet to die back on this main crop of King Edwards & Maris Piper’s. Should be harvestable in a couple of months barring the dreaded blight that hit us last year! A few Swedes under wraps in the foreground.

[JIM YOUNG @Jimsdelusion]

Despite the drought & scorching conditions Celeriac & Sweetcorn doing well. Constant watering essential for Celeriac to produce successfully.

[JIM YOUNG @Jimsdelusion]

Fantastic album from the man!

John was a dedicated Blues man. Saw him a few times in the 60’s with different band line ups!

@Moon_Tune Still got my vinyl copy. Mayall’s concept jazz rock album with some outstanding musicians!

@mgcrazykev Looking good Kevin. Nice to see a well organised plot.

[JIM YOUNG @Jimsdelusion]

@mgcrazykev Worth the hassle of building it. Before It I had a low lying cage which was a nightmare to access. Scrabbling on hands & knees just to dig & maintain!

[JIM YOUNG @Jimsdelusion]

Just erected a walk in Brassica cage. I can now dig in it standing up. No more attacks from pigeons & the cabbage white butterfly.
