by Alexander Keith
Tens of thousands throughout the country know the uses that are to be gained by cultivating an allotment-vegetables for the home and a bunch of flowers, health and occupation for the whole family. Between the spells of work on a long summer evening, what more delightful than to laze around while the children play or the wife makes tea ? But there are tens of thousands who might enrol among the nation's gardeners and have not yet done so. Alexander Keith , who has broadcast many times on gardening, will interview a couple who enjoyed to the full their gardening last year.
