The Wildlife Patch Tidy Up

8 months ago by Katie

The wildlife patch is one of my favourite parts on the plot and I swear I don't just say that about every part of my allotment... although I do love it all! Creating a pond was one of the best decisions I have ever made, it's not only created it's only little ...

Manure Bin DIY

9 months ago by Katie

Today was the day that I finally made my manure bin, it only took me a year! We've all got one of those jobs that we keep putting off, the job that's not that important so keeps getting pushed right to the end of the list... The manure bin was that job for me ...

Herbal Bath ‘Tea Bags’

2 years ago by Katie

Christmas is nearly upon us and one of the things I like to do is try and make some handmade presents to give to members of my family. Nothing beats a homemade gift in my opinion, so much time and effort goes into that one present that it simply oozes with lov...

And the roof is on!

2 years ago by Katie

It's been laying in the back garden against the greenhouse for the past 2 years but this Sunday was the day the galvanised roofing finally made it onto the shed! I've been looking forward to this day for what seems like ages now and it was so hard to contain m...

A Tidy Corner…

2 years ago by Katie

Stinging nettles are literally everywhere at the moment and even though they have such a bad reputation they can be used for so many good things. Not only can you cook with nettles to make delicious dishes but they can be used to make natural fertiliser feed t...

Sweet Peas, Globe Artichokes and more flowers!

2 years ago by Katie

Back from Wales and back up the allotment again, waking extra early on Sunday morning so I could get busy working through my to-do list. The allotment site was empty when I arrived and I loved it, it's so peaceful up there and I almost prefer working like this...

Plot 15c Plan 2017

3 years ago by Katie

It's one of my most favourite times of the year, the time when you can dream and put all your ideas down onto paper. A time when it's grey and miserable outside but in your head it's full of all the pretty flowers and delicious vegetables that you'll be growin...

A Handmade and Homegrown Wreath

3 years ago by Katie

Christmas is full of family traditions and for the past 3 years I have gone out foraging for materials to make my very own wreath, a tradition that I hope to carry out every single year. This year was no different and I didn't have to travel far for materia...

The Three Sisters

3 years 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...

A Very Herbal Christmas Wreath

4 years ago by Katie

For the past 3 years I have foraged and made my own Christmas wreath to hang on the front door, it's the start of a tradition which I would love to aim to keep. However this year was a little last minute and I had to use what we had growing in the back garden ...

The Flower Meadow

4 years ago by Katie

As most of you know, I decided a few weeks back not to go ahead and get chickens which means the area where the coop and run was going to go is now completely free and open to ideas. That's 3 metres by 4 metres of spare soil and the endless possibilities are r...
