As you walk the streets of Yambol and look to your side at the homes of Bulgarians, you will see a fantastic amount of food growing on a DIY basis. One conservatory I saw today had last year's onions set up in jam jars. It is common for these onions to grow and the green shoots are then used for salads. Nothing is wasted in Bulgaria. I the UK the old onions would have been thrown away.
Yambol is not the prettiest City in Bulgaria, but it does have a unique character which is now in the process of being captured by camera. What you see now in Yambol will be short lived in a world of change, especially with the EU strangling the heart and soul of Bulgaria's culture with directives and uniform regulations.

Martin it reminds me of my childhood days in a country cottage. We didn't have a lot of money so my Mum used to do similar things.
