Getting things ready for Spring

9 months ago by Katie

I spent a lovely morning up the allotment on Sunday having arrived back from Wales the day before. I hadn't seen the allotment in over 2 weeks and I wanted to do a few jobs and check everything even though it was pouring with rain! I've been busy planning whil...

The Last of the Kale

9 months ago by Katie

Back from Wales and back up the allotment! I certainly wasn't going to let the rain put me off, I desperately wanted to check everything was okay and there were a few small jobs to do as well. Plus I had to harvest some of my curly kale to add to our sausage a...

Find of the Day!

9 months ago by Katie

A wander around a local independent garden centre here in Wales proved to be quite successful when I chanced upon these 3 beautifully weather beaten rhubarb forcers by the fruit trees. They didn't have a price on them and one had a lid missing but after enquir...

A Growing Start to the Year

10 months ago by Katie

It's officially 2017 and what better way to start the year then getting the garden ready for the growing season ahead! This just so happens to be one of my favourite times of the year, the time when you can sit in front of the fire and plan out your garden ...

Happy New Year!

10 months ago by Katie

That's another year gone although I don't quite know where it went! 2016 went by in a blink of an eye but it was filled with love, laughter and lots of homegrown veg. I'll admit that the allotment has been a little bit neglected in 2016 due to most of my ti...

The Forgotten Cabbages…

So that's it, Christmas is over for another year and I headed back to Hampshire to join in with some family festivities. My Sister and her family were coming down for a couple of days and we were going to recreate another Christmas altogether starting with a d...

Merry Christmas 2016

10 months ago by Katie

Well hasn't this year just flown by! I can't quite believe it's Christmas day tomorrow and even though I am super excited for the year ahead I can't seem to remember where 2016 went... Before I left for Wales I popped up the allotment to decorate the sh...

A Handmade and Homegrown Wreath

10 months ago by Katie

Christmas is full of family traditions and for the past 3 years I have gone out foraging for materials to make my very own wreath, a tradition that I hope to carry out every single year. This year was no different and I didn't have to travel far for materia...

The Broad Beans are in!

10 months ago by Katie

A week later than I had hoped but the broad beans are in! I sow these beauties every year around this time (last year they were sown on the 29th of November so I'm not that far off...) and they've always given me a good harvest. The variety I grow are called ...

A harsh Winter and new ideas

10 months ago by Katie

Winter has really set in now and near enough every morning we wake up to heavy frosts. I love this time of year but the allotment it seems, does not... I haven't been able to visit the plot in a few weeks due to being away in Wales and working really hard with...

Lighting up the Shed

11 months ago by Katie

Christmas is in the air and I'm starting to feel festive! The days are getting colder, the Christmas tunes are playing on the radio and my festive jumper has been dusted off. I love this time of year and couldn't wait to decorate my shed with lots of pretty li...
