My Uncle’s Allotment
Haiku
Jan 17, 2022
Small surface plot but
almost two thousand miles deep.
Impressive garden!
When I was small we didn’t own land but we were ‘allotted’ a small garden to grow vegetables and flowers if we didn’t have a backyard. I have many fond memories of times planting and harvesting with my great-aunts and uncles. They grew most of their own vegetables. My job was to shell the peas. I giggled every time one popped!
