I met hilary at her allotment at a secret location in west london. She supplied four packs of local butter from Berkely Farm Dairy near Swindon. She also gave me some greens to take home and told me about some organic slug pellets she is using that work without harming cute things like birds. The greens were amazing: fresh oregano - i am attempting to grow a cutting sorrel - a revelation in a world without lemons - I must have some! purple sprouting - the staple of local organic eating some green leaves - nice! This hanging around in a garden plot and trading cuttings reminds of what the women get up to in the amazon chacras where we were so many years ago. Its nice to feel that sense of unity with people who live so far away. Thanks Hilary
