crack gardens on the small screen

Is there an abundance in your area? Do you wish there was? I'm thinking about Abundance London whose name was mumbled over on an episode of Gardener's World way back in June 2022.

There are four months left to watch it, and if you don't want the usual run of Monty, Dogs, etc. skip to 37-ish minutes in to see an urban charity planting gardens in the cracks in the tarmac and pavements.

I remember writing about this years ago, crack gardens linked together with green lines. It's pleasing to see things leaping off the screen, real and established, and making an amazing difference to their local areas. 

Abundance networks run all over the country, gathering fruit that would otherwise go to waste, distributing food, raising awareness, gardening their way through to a better world.

These are fruit of my apple tree, which did not fruit last year, the weather being too poor. Here's to this year's crop being at little better.
