Eurgh. The media player won't load for me, but when you said he'd be selling produce from his own plot I automatically had this terrible morbid thought of a burial plot.

I'm guessing this is not the case. Yes?

I think we can safely assume he means his garden plot.

Yes it's his own garden (helped out by his daughter, who despite being in her 80s presumably still only has an apprentice type role) - the double meaning didn't occur to me when I posted... it was meant to be a whimsical link rather than something horrendous!

Great story. The other day we had a 102 year old patient walking in the halls. She didn't look a day over 80.
