Winter harvests and prepping for next years crops

11 months ago by Katie

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all having a lovely week? I'm currently in Wales celebrating a certain special someone's birthday yesterday and I am absolutely loving being here on the farm right now. The weather has behaved, the happiness has flowed and...

Spring Bulbs 2018

12 months ago by Katie

It's that time of year again and one that I am super excited about! The trough is one of my favourite additions to plot 15c and every year I look forward to the sea of blooms which appear from March to May. Last Spring however the tulips suffered from a diseas...

The Spring Bulb Trough

1 year ago by Katie

Sometimes it feels like Spring came and went within a matter of a week, what with the strange heatwave we had last weekend everything's gone a little crazy! Although it's back to normal April weather right now with heavy showers and the woolly jumper back on.....

Radish Addict

2 years ago by Katie

Well isn't this Easter bank holiday a complete washout! Not that I'm letting it dampen my spirits at all, I managed to pop up the allotment yesterday on Good Friday to film another video in the shed and get a few DIY jobs done. Then I spent an hour in the gree...

Container Growing in 2018

2 years ago by Katie

2018 is the year to try new things and for me that is going to be growing in containers. It's funny because this is what the majority of people start out with and then later evolve into a garden or an allotment, whereas I dived headfirst into owning an allotme...

The first sowings of the year!

2 years ago by Katie

It's that time of year when every gardener is itching to get in the greenhouse and start sowing the first seeds of 2018 and last weekend I did just that! One thing you need to remember is to not get too carried away, there's only a few seeds that can be sown t...

Garlic and the last of the seed shopping…

2 years ago by Katie

I ordered the last of my seed packets from Kings today and I am so excited! We popped to a garden centre last Friday and I had my list of seeds I needed, however the shop only had a few so I made a note to buy the rest online and I did just that. I've been rat...

Plot 15c Plan 2018 - Flowers, Herbs and Wildlife

2 years ago by Katie

It's funny to think when I first got my allotment I was all about the vegetables... I left one tiny space next to my shed to grow a few cut flowers before changing my mind and making a pond instead! Since then I've realised how important it is to incorporate f...

Winter Radishes

2 years ago by Katie

Winter is finally here with a big cold bang, the temperatures have dropped suddenly and Christmas is only 29 days away! The poor old allotment isn't Winter ready however, due to very hectic work commitments the brassica bed was non existence and therefore ther...

Planting Garlic in a Container

2 years ago by Katie

I've had the allotment for 4 years now and I've attempted to grow garlic twice in the past, both times it failed miserably and part of me blames the heavy clay soil we have here in the South. The Winters have been wet, damp and grey and garlic hates to be sat ...

Spring Bulb Planting

2 years ago by Katie

I love this time of year, there's so much hope and excitement in the air as I'm busy planning next years growing season. For me there's nothing more exciting than planting out Spring bulbs when the rest of the allotment is starting to die back and this Spring ...

One last attempt at Garlic

2 years ago by Katie

Everyone has that one crop that they've tried endlessly to grow but for some strange reason it just doesn't go to plan and mine just so happens to be garlic. I absolutely love garlic and have always had that dream to grow my own but after failing at it twice I...
