I might give up on gardening


I went up to the allotment this morning and found that it was full of police and ambulances. Apparently someone had been there earlier, gotten into his car, had a heart attack and ended up driving into the gates.

That makes it the forth fatality this year. One a month. Twelve a year. With less than 170 allotment holders that means the average life of an allotment holder is 14 years.

I reckon that I can take this Chinese flu in my stride, but gardening is getting bloody dangerous

That’s very sad to hear.
Would it be because often the majority of allotment holders are over 50 and potentially more prone to certain health issues like heart attacks for example?

Seems like a coincidence though.

Find out who wants to buy the land.

This guy gets it !

Not a guy.

I'll take your word for it.

170 people and only 12 die per year is pretty good odds though.


Gardening soothes your soul. Keep on going 👍.
