Is your plot part of your garden or on an allotment site? Would love to grow veggies in the garden but where we are now is too shady.

That cherry chocolate should be decidedly yummy :)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912468918847715397.post-1641671612579139162011-12-08T23:23:13.212+00:002011-12-08T23:23:13.212+00:00Lovely garden, I made cherry liquer with vodka thi...Lovely garden, I made cherry liquer with vodka this year too!bright starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682079332831035081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912468918847715397.post-58041386425939442772011-12-08T21:39:27.109+00:002011-12-08T21:39:27.109+00:00Saw the link on Gardeners Click.

What sort of cherries went into your vodka? Were they Morello? Can't think why they wouldn't work with chocolate (thinking: Black Forest Gateau) but chocolate tablet is very trendy and sells for a small fortune in Waitrose ... you should find plenty of willing 'victims'!
