Weird vegetables
One of the good things about growing your own vegetables is the fact that they are not all exactly the same shape and size as found in supermarkets. Sometimes you can get a good laugh just by digging up your crops - allotments being good for your mental health, of course. Some of these examples came from Goodmayes Lane, plot 67.
