The Big Dig

5 days ago by Katie

I'm back from my trip to Wales after spending the best 5 weeks in and around the farm, it was a struggle to leave and I so desperately wanted to stay but unfortunately work commitments and the poor old allotment was calling me home. Even though I spent 5 weeks...

Poor Old Plot 15C!

2 weeks ago by Katie

I've been in Wales a whole 5 weeks now and my Dad has been sending me photos of my allotment and keeping me up to date on what's going on down in Hampshire. I'm sad to see that the weather is taking it's toll on poor old plot 15c and Autumn has been settled in...

Foraging on the Farm

3 weeks ago by Katie

Walking around the farm on various errands have made me aware of all the foraging goodies that the hedgerows have to offer, and even though I've missed the elderberries (again!) there was plenty of lovely rose hips for the picking. So whilst Charles was cuttin...

Rounding up the Sheep

4 weeks ago by Katie

Before you ask... no I haven't purchased any sheep for the allotment! I'm still here in Wales enjoying farm life and today we had to round up the sheep to separate the lambs from the flock. With some help from Rex the sheepdog we managed to guide the sheep to ...

Homegrown and Homemade: Pumpkin Cakes

The Allotment Frogs

1 year ago by Katie

When I decided to make a little pond for my allotment I never thought for one second that it would be such a success and I am so unbelievably happy with all my new little allotment residents. So far I've noticed 8 frogs on the plot, I was moving a pile of pall...

The Red Cabbage Glut

1 year ago by Katie

Since owning my allotment I have ended up trying new foods and finding out that I do in fact like vegetables that I had previously turned my nose up at (I used to be extremely fussy!) Cabbage is one of those vegetables that I have fallen in love with and becau...

The end and the beginning

2 years ago by Katie

So thats it then... after a few good months of growing it was time to say goodbye to some of my faithful veg! To be fair I was surprised to get any crops out of my plot this year seeing as I got my little slice of land in July, but I worked hard and managed to...

Strawberry Fields

2 years ago by Katie

My name is Katie and I have a strawberry addiction! Strawberries were the first plants I have ever grown myself, and this was when I was 22 years old. My dad had just been given his very own allotment plot and I was officially put in charge of a strawberry ...

Happy Bonfire Night!

2 years ago by Katie

I'm not really one to celebrate bonfire night, I even forgot to buy a pumpkin this year for halloween (although I do desperately want to grow some on my plot next year!) So when my dad mentioned buying a box of fireworks for the garden I thought why not? We ow...
