The First Strawberry Harvest

3 years ago by Katie

Last year was the perfect year for strawberries and you just can't beat homegrown ones, freshly warmed by the sun and bright red in colour. This year however looks like it's going to be a different story... It's safe to say I have been neglecting the strawberr...

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'...

A Little Bicycle Ride

3 years ago by Katie

I'm lucky enough to only live a 10 minute walk away from the allotment, which means it only takes me 5 minutes to cycle there on my bicycle. Although it would be absolutely amazing to have a vegetable patch right in the back garden, nothing beats a little cycl...

Absolutely Radishing!

3 years ago by Katie

I spent Thursday night up the allotment ticking a few things off of the long to do list and filming a few new videos for the Youtube channel. One of the jobs was to thin the radishes out in the radish tank I couldn't be happier with what I found growing... ...

The First Cut Flowers

3 years ago by Katie

So I'm back in Wales for a couple of weeks and I couldn't be happier! It does mean however, that I'll be missing the big tulip display at the allotment this year... A few of them have started to bloom and the trough is looking beautiful yet again. Apric...

Happy Halloween!

4 years ago by Katie

Believe it or not this is my first ever Halloween spent away from home and the first Halloween where I haven't had a pumpkin to carve! Not that I had a homegrown pumpkin to carve at all this year... Last year was a completely different story so I've decided...

Borlotto Beans

4 years ago by Katie

I grew and tasted borlotto beans for the first time last year, they climbed in perfect harmony with my munchkin pumpkins up the archway and rewarded me with 2 large jars full of delicious beans. This year however, is a different story and I can assure you that...

Homegrown Flowers

4 years ago by Katie

The flowers have done brilliantly this year and the new flower bed has been a huge success. I didn't have high hopes for the flowers that I planted here simply due to changing it all around and squeezing things in. See the original plan at the beginning of the...

The First Cut Flowers!

4 years ago by Katie

We're halfway through September and I've only just picked the first bunch of homegrown flowers from plot 15C! The flowers have been blooming beautifully since late Spring but I've just been a tad busy visiting Wales to actually get round to picking any. I have...

Beans Beans Beans!

4 years ago by Katie

I love beans... broad beans, french beans, borlotti beans... I love them all! So I was extra pleased to notice I had a few French beans ready to harvest before my holidays, off I went one afternoon to pick them for dinner and ended up coming away with more tha...

Swiss Chard Quiche

4 years ago by Katie

I don't know if I've told you before... but I LOVE swiss chard! It just so happens to be my all time favourite thing to grow and it tastes pretty amazing too. Funnily enough I had never even heard of it before growing it back in 2013, the supermarkets don't te...
