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 ...

The end of the heatwave

1 year ago by Katie

It looks like the heatwave has finally ended and I honestly don't think my allotment would have survived without the Gardena products! It just goes to show that it's worth investing in a good watering system that will help both you and your garden flourish. ...

Printing Memories

1 year ago by Katie

As you all know I love taking photographs, whether it's up the allotment, spending time with family, food, foraging or holidays... every single photograph contains a happy memory of which I am always keen to capture. I take a lot of photographs too, in fact I ...

Taking Time Out

1 year ago by Katie

It's so easy to lose yourself amongst the chaos, to rush around day by day and watch the months fly past in a mad haze. It's exactly how I've felt this Summer. What with being self employed and working on our family business both online and at the garden shows...

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...

National Allotment Week

1 year ago by Katie

As National Allotment Week draws to a close I thought I would come on here and express how much my allotment means to me, because as you can guess it's so much more than a place to grow food, it's a place where I can grow as a person too. I first got my...

Last Minute Jobs

1 year ago by Katie

As I write this I'm currently sitting in bed, looking out my window at a field full of sheep (and two Herdwicks)... you guessed it, I'm back in Wales! This time I'm here for 10 whole days and I couldn't be more happy. However, before I left the allotment I wan...

A Happy Harvest

1 year ago by Katie

Having arrived back from RHS Tatton late Monday afternoon I couldn't wait to head down to the plot to see what has been busy growing and how much it had changed. I know I was only away for a week but believe me, a lot can change in those 7 days! I woke ...

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...

Sow it begins again!

1 year ago by Katie

The second growing season is officially here and I've been busy up the allotment preparing the vegetable beds for a second batch of crops. There's so many seeds and seedlings you can be planting out and if you have a small plot or garden just like me then you ...

Happy Harvests

1 year ago by Katie

The allotment is really starting to come into it's own right now, everytime I pop up there I seem to be coming back with something and it makes me so happy! You really can't beat that feeling of harvesting something that you've raised from a tiny seed. ...
