Winter harvests and prepping for next years crops

11 months ago by Katie

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all having a lovely week? I'm currently in Wales celebrating a certain special someone's birthday yesterday and I am absolutely loving being here on the farm right now. The weather has behaved, the happiness has flowed and...

Late to the Pumpkin Party

12 months ago by Katie

Well didn't October just pass by in a whirlwind?! I spent 24 days out of 31 in Wales having such a good time with my love. I added 11 more Herdwicks to my flock and now have a beautiful Ram called Idwal who is hopefully doing his job as we speak so come Spring...

Winter Radishes

2 years ago by Katie

Winter is finally here with a big cold bang, the temperatures have dropped suddenly and Christmas is only 29 days away! The poor old allotment isn't Winter ready however, due to very hectic work commitments the brassica bed was non existence and therefore ther...

Planting Garlic in a Container

2 years ago by Katie

I've had the allotment for 4 years now and I've attempted to grow garlic twice in the past, both times it failed miserably and part of me blames the heavy clay soil we have here in the South. The Winters have been wet, damp and grey and garlic hates to be sat ...

Spring Bulb Planting

2 years ago by Katie

I love this time of year, there's so much hope and excitement in the air as I'm busy planning next years growing season. For me there's nothing more exciting than planting out Spring bulbs when the rest of the allotment is starting to die back and this Spring ...

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...

The last of the squash

2 years ago by Katie

It's the 1st of November today and I for one can't quite believe where the year has gone. Even though I love this season and a tiny part of me is getting excited for Christmas, I can't help but long for Summer and those long day's up the allotment. It's gettin...

The Frosts have arrived

3 years ago by Katie

Well that's that then, the leaves are falling fast from the trees, the temperatures have dropped and the first of the frosts have arrived on Plot 15C. I woke up early Wednesday morning to head up the allotment to film the Question time video over on my Youtube...

A Family Effort

3 years ago by Katie

When you grow your own produce there are days when you have to plan your meals around what is ready which is not necessarily a bad thing. However, the best thing about Winter veg is the option of picking whenever you want, the vegetables often stay stored in t...

It’s Dibber Season!

3 years ago by Katie

Autumn is here and for me that means one thing... it's time to plant out those Spring bulbs and to sow some over wintering broad beans! I usually do this in November when the first frosts kill off any diseases in the soil which can harm and kill your bulbs, es...

Overwintering Broad Beans

4 years ago by Katie

I managed to sow some broad beans on the 28th of November, a little late but they are in none the less. I do this every year with my broad beans, over winter them so they are ready to harvest around May. Because both me and my Dad have plots we came up with a ...
