14/07: New allotment on the roof of Crouch End Supermarket building
Just over the Islington Borough boundary is a new food-growing venture in the sky, in fact on the roof of Crouch End's popular and pretty green supermarket, Budgens. Have a look at their new website:

We understand that visitors can climb the stairs and inspect the vegetables themselves, your editor will be doing this as soon as possible. What a fantastic effort from all the eager gardeners, and from Budgens who are happy to have people gardening on their roof and have not come up with a load of reasons why the project would not be possible. Please go and have a look and do your shopping at Budgens who are trying very hard to make their business environmentally sustainable and who have been in their building for decades longer than the two other (much bigger) supermarkets who have moved in alongside to steal their trade.
