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...

Chard Glorious Chard

2 years ago by Katie

The UK woke up to the first frosts of the year this week, flowers were left lifeless and seedlings destroyed but one crop that continues to thrive is good old swiss chard. I know I rave about this leafy green a lot but I just adore it, it's helping to bring co...

Just what I needed…

2 years ago by Katie

It's been a very hectic but pretty perfect weekend for me, I headed back down to Hampshire on Friday afternoon to spend some time with my family and it all started with a barbeque. On Saturday me and my parents went off to the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show whi...

Winter Harvests

3 years ago by Katie

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 ...

Happy New Year!

3 years 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...

Pumpkin Harvests of the Past!

3 years ago by Katie

Autumn has really set in now, the days are getting colder, the leaves are changing colour and everyone is busy harvesting pumpkins and squashes... everyone except me that is! This is the first year since owning Plot 15c that I haven't harvested any pumpkins or...

What weekends are made for…

3 years ago by Katie

I arrived back from another week away in Wales during the early hours of Saturday, so to cheer myself up I popped up the allotment in the afternoon to check on everything and to have a good catch up with my Dad over a cup of tea. It seems the mini heatwave and...

The Three Sisters Update

3 years ago by Katie

I thought it was about time that I gave you all an update regarding the three sisters method that I was trying out for the first time this year. The sweetcorn has so far done the best out of all three of the crops, it's grown to nearly 6 foot high and produ...

Back up the Allotment…

3 years ago by Katie

It's been over 3 weeks since I last laid my eyes on Plot 15C and I was dreading the first visit when I returned back to Hampshire on Friday, so much in fact that I didn't pop up there until Sunday! I've relied on the weather to do the watering for me and was e...

The First Fruit Harvest

3 years ago by Katie

As you all know I've never had much luck with my fruit on plot 15C, infact those pesky birds would beat me to the harvest every year! Well that was until my fruit cage was built last Autumn and since then the fruit bushes have been growing (and so have the wee...

The Three Sisters

3 years ago by Katie

One of the best things about having an allotment and growing your own produce is getting the chance to experiment with different varieties as well as different techniques. I had heard about the three sister technique last year but never got round to doing it a...

The First Broad Bean Harvest

3 years ago by Katie

I harvested the first lot of broad beans from the allotment at the weekend and I couldn't be happier. It was only a small handful mind you but you just can't beat the first harvest from something you've grown from seed! I sowed these 'Aquadulce Claudia'...
