Flower Sprouts for Supper

8 months ago by Katie

My rain soaked allotment trip on Sunday was not only productive but I managed to come home with some delicious homegrown goodies for our Sunday roast. The flower sprouts have done brilliantly this year and there are still 3 stalks left to harvest, all full to ...

The All Weather Gardener

8 months ago by Katie

So the plans to spend the weekend up the allotment were thwarted by the good old British weather yet again. This time dear storm Doris was here to say hello and she brought wind and rain with her, not the ideal thing to garden in! However, on Sunday morning I ...

8 months ago by Katie

I thought you would all appreciate seeing my Dad's allotment plans for his plot this coming year and I have been bugging him for months to get it completed so I could show you all! First of all though I thought I would give you all a bit of history on my Da...

Free Rhubarb? Yes Please!

8 months ago by Katie

I love it when a plan comes together and when that plan involves free plants! A plot on our site has the best (and longest) row of rhubarb which always produces hundreds of delicious stalks, it just so happens that the owner recently lifted the crowns and spli...

Adding Something Back…

8 months ago by Katie

I've been neglecting the poor allotment the past year or so due to being so busy with both my work and personal life so I thought it was about time that I gave something back to it. The tulip trough and the archway have been suffering and last year was one of ...

Signs of Spring

8 months ago by Katie

Spring is nearly here and I couldn't be more excited! It's been a while since I've visited the allotment and it's been a long time since I actually got my hands dirty. I managed to take a few hours off work due to working all Sunday and decided to head up the ...

Potato day

8 months ago by Katie

The day has finally arrived... the day that we purchased our seed potatoes! It's a huge day in the allotment calendar and one of the staple crops that we grow, we eat potatoes a lot of the time so it's a big deal for us and one of our most important crops. We ...

The first sowings of the year

8 months ago by Katie

I spent the first afternoon pottering around in the greenhouse on Sunday and I couldn't have been happier. It feels so good to finally be sowing seeds and getting my hands dirty and this is just the beginning. Next month the list of seeds to sow is three times...

Plot 15c Plan 2017

8 months ago by Katie

It's one of my most favourite times of the year, the time when you can dream and put all your ideas down onto paper. A time when it's grey and miserable outside but in your head it's full of all the pretty flowers and delicious vegetables that you'll be growin...

Winter Harvests

I've had such a beautiful weekend full of a few of my favourites things: Allotmenting, antique shopping and strolling round garden centres (with lots of tea in between!) all it was missing was a particular Welsh man... On Saturday I treated myself to a bit ...

A perfect morning to prune

9 months ago by Katie

The original plan for this weekend was to spend one whole day up the allotment where I could tidy, prune and dig the plot ready for Spring. What I didn't anticipate was the heavy frosts we've been having lately... The ground was far too frozen to do anything w...
