The Big Tidy Up!

6 months ago by Katie

There's a special visitor coming to plot 15C this coming Friday so it's all hands on deck getting the allotment looking as tidy and pretty as possible. I've been neglecting it a lot this past year due to work and my time in Wales so there's plenty of jobs that...

Back up the Allotment…

6 months 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

7 months 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...

Blue Skies, Potatoes and the Second Growing Season

7 months ago by Katie

It looks like Summer has arrived with a bang and the blue skies bring with it scorching heat and no breeze. Although it would be nice to spend all day up the allotment I don't think you could in this heat, you would most probably melt! So I popped up for half ...

The First New Potatoes!

8 months ago by Katie

It's July and even though it's been a pretty wet and cold one it's time to harvest the first of my new potatoes, one the best days of the year! You just can't beat homegrown jersey royals with melted butter and some freshly picked broad beans to eat with them....

Rain, rain and more rain

8 months ago by Katie

We've been having one of the wettest Junes ever here and although it is getting a little bit annoying now the garden is sure enjoying all the rain! I headed up to the allotment yesterday evening with my wellies and rain coat to pick some broad beans, I hadn't ...

The Three Sisters

8 months 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...

And so it begins…

8 months ago by Katie

The harvests are starting to come in thick and fast now and the top of the crops just so happen to be the broad beans. Having been away in Wales for 5 days I decided to pop up the allotment the day after I got back to have a look around and to see if the slugs...

The Rhubarb Harvest

8 months ago by Katie

We love rhubarb in this family so it only seemed fit to have a special raised bed over on my Dads plot with 5 crowns planted inside it. Not forgetting my two rhubarb crowns which were divided from my Dad's last year, they are still rather small so I won't be p...

The First Strawberry Harvest

8 months 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 Brassicas are in!

9 months ago by Katie

I spent Monday afternoon and evening up the allotment frantically trying to tick a few things off of my long to do list, the priorities were to plant out the seedlings that were waiting patiently in the coldframe at home. You see... I was heading off to Wales ...

A Little Distraction…

9 months ago by Katie

So I was up the allotment on watering duties last night and I thought I would get started on tidying the pond area. Here's a quick warning... If you create a pond in your allotment or garden then be prepared to waste hours watching the frogs jumping around! ...
