Handmade Beauty Hamper

9 months ago by Katie

Ever since owning my allotment I've dreamed of making my own jams, preserves and drinks using homegrown produce that I've lovingly looked after and harvested. That feeling soon evolved into wanting to make more homemade goodies and this past Christmas I've bee...

Pickled Red Cabbage

10 months ago by Katie

One of my main reasons for growing red cabbage on plot 15c is to pickle them. 80% of my homegrown crop makes it's way into a jar and the other 20% usually gets made into a delicious soup. However, this year was a bit of a disaster and my row of 6 red cabbages ...

Homegrown Christmas Wreath

11 months ago by Katie

A relatively new tradition for me every Christmastime is to try and make my very own wreath to sit on the front door and great people. Hanging a wreath on the door is the epitome of Christmas decorating and I adore seeing them line the street this time of year...

Crystallised Edible Flower Cupcakes

1 year ago by Katie

As Autumn slowly creeps in and thick jumpers start making their way back into the wardrobe I had one job I wanted to do before it got too cold. I've always been intrigued and in love with edible flowers, they not only taste delicious but they can give that per...

Elderberry Jam

1 year ago by Katie

This year was the first time I was able to forage a large amount of elderberries, they were early but I was ready and I managed to pick over 1.6kg! There was a bumper crop this year and I was so pleased, a few months ago now I had helped myself to the flowers ...

Elderberry Syrup

1 year ago by Katie

Fate was on my side this year with the Elderberry season it seems, it's the one crop I usually end up missing and always regret not being able to forage. I'm usually too caught up with our last garden shows of the year or busy harvesting the pumpkins and squas...

Courgette and Bacon Carbonara

1 year ago by Katie

My first ever courgette was grown and harvested a year ago now and it's safe to say they are now a firm favourite to grow every year on plot 15c. They are so easy to grow and give you so much in return, in fact one plant could probably feed us through the Summ...

Courgette and Lemon Cake

1 year ago by Katie

The courgette glut has begun and there's gardeners all over the UK pondering what to do with their never ending harvests. I'm relatively new to the courgette club (I think this needs to be an actual thing!) but I have to admit that I am addicted to them. My fa...

Strawberry and Elderflower Cordial

1 year ago by Katie

Summer is officially here which means long days of sunshine (hopefully!), days out with the family and infinite hours spent outside. So what could be better then combining two ultimate tastes of Summer to create a sweet and refreshing cordial for you to sip on...

Elderflower Champagne

1 year ago by Katie

It's no secret that I love Elderflower, it's my all time favourite foraged treat and one of the things I love making the most is Elderflower champagne. For the past 4 years I've been making the same batch of champagne and it's such a simple recipe to follow. T...

The start of Summer

1 year ago by Katie

I don't know if I've already mentioned, and I probably have a million times by now, but I love this time of year! The allotment is thriving and growing greener and fuller everyday, the weather has been beautiful and there's endless amounts of elderflower out i...

Handmade Dungarees!

2 years ago by Katie

I've been treating myself to a little 'me time' during the evenings and for the first time in a while I actually made something for myself! Sewing is another one of my favourite hobbies and before I had the allotment it was what I would spend most of my spare ...
