I think plotters, my own name for allotment holders and much more exciting, are true artists. They know just how to compose an image. Take this one here. Steve manages to show off his pumpkins in a really good September light and lines them up beautifully on a well chosen piece of chicken wire with a contrasting blue background. The random addition of small pieces of bamboo add to the tension of the image, juxtapose that with a dark September shadow in a perfect hue of greens. It all makes for an imposing garden masterpiece.

It’s the sort of image that should be appreciated by everyone, a plotter’s work of art, a master stroke of gardening and image making.

The worthy work of a true artist.
