520    AUTOBIOGRAPHY: GENERAL. Plot 29 is on a London allotment 
       site where people come together to grow. It's just that 
       sometimes what Allan Jenkins grows there, along with 
       marigolds and sorrel, is solace. When I am disturbed, even
       angry, gardening has been a therapy. When I don't want to 
       talk I turn to plot 29, or to a wilder piece of land by a 
       northern sea. There, among seeds and trees, my breathing 
       slows; my heart rate too. My anxieties slip away. I 
       nurture small plants from seeds, like when I was small and
       needed someone to care for me. I offer protection from 
       danger, as I tried to for my brother. It's not all about 
       healing, though it's there in abundance, like summer 
       beans. Sometimes it's just the joy of growing food and 
       flowers and sharing with people you love. A personal 
       narrative blended with beautiful descriptions of gardening
       and the pleasures of losing yourself in the horticultural,
       Plot 29 weaves together memoir and memory, from the 
       author's childhood to the present day
