Matron grows vegetables and fruit in a Hampshire garden. I've been growing veggies since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Some traditional varieties and old favourites as well as new ideas. I share my garden with my allotment assistant Daisy the Labrador. On Twitter as @MatronsVeggies
This blog is supposed to be about growing veggies, but I know you will forgive a little indulgence.
Leo was a stray! someone left him on the streets of London and didn't bother to look for him. Aside from a little arthritis in his joints he is still full of life! Like all Labradors, Leo loves his food - so getting him to eat his veggies will not be a problem!

I was born 20 yards from our allotment. My parents used to 'dig for victory' and never got out of the habit. I grew up on an allotment, so growing veggies is a way of life. I am also qualified as a dog behaviourist and I have set up my own business, www.blackdogdna.com

He looks like a natural poser for the camera!

Matron, we will more than forgive a little indulgence - you might have a riot on your hands if Leo doesn't get plenty of blog coverage.
And he poses for the camera, a real pro!
I'm so happy for both you and Leo. Thank you for providing a good home for this wonderful little fellow...he is indeed a lucky dog to have found you.:)
Leo is a big cutie. We can see he has green paws for gardening, perfect!!

I'm so glad you are taking care of Leo. What a dog!
Awwww how cute is he! Sounds like you're going to have a lot of fun with him. :)
Imagine letting your dog go after 11 years and not being bothered, I can't understand it. Is he another Battersea dog, Matron? Keep the piccies coming.
Welcome to the world of bloggers Leo! Loads more stories and piccies of Leo 'gardening' please Matron :o)
Hope he doesn't eat YOUR veggies too, like Buddy did. Look at those eyes.
What a handsome fellow! He looks like he would capture your heart in a moment.
Aww, what a handsome boy!
Lee
He shares his name with our cat! >.<
What a cutie!
Dear Matron, what a wise decision to adopt Leo, he is so cute and sweet and gentle and handsome. How anyone could leave such a wonderful dog wandering the streets is beyond me. So glad he found you & you him.
I wish you both lots of joy in your life together.

PS Tara's thinks Leo is awful cute and she would really love to play with him.
A perfect name. He is such a charming looking dog. Those eyes make my heart miss a beat.
oh my God how can any one leave such a cute little thing on the road...you are a good soul to take him in...God bless you.
I LOVE HIM!!!!! Please give him a kiss on the muzzle and a tickle in his special place, I'm sure he must have one :)

Matron - Leo has the sweetest face ! He has found the perfect match in you. Please keep sharing pictures and congrats on your new friend!
Hi Matron, I'm sure Leo will be a good garden helper so I think that entitles him to star in you blog. I for one hope we get to see lots of him.
