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. ...

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 ...

Finding time to relax

1 year ago by Katie

I've been struggling to find the time to sit back and actually enjoy the allotment this year, what with a busy work schedule and trying to fit in visits to Wales too. Thankfully that's all changed since my Gardena Aquazoom Sprinkler arrived on the plot and it'...

So much more than an allotment…

1 year ago by Katie

Lately I've been feeling so overwhelmed with love and admiration for my little plot and since I acquired it 5 years ago it's turned into so much more than just an allotment. It's my little haven, my happy place and I love it so much! I know it might sound odd ...

Hot on the Plot!

2 years ago by Katie

We've had the wettest August on record and then BAM... Summer returns with a bang! This bank holiday weekend has been amazing but boy has it been hot. My parents, brother, sister in law and little nephew were all heading to Swanage on a camping trip and I offe...

The Allotment in June…

2 years ago by Katie

When I left the allotment it was June and I probably won't be seeing it again until half way through July so things are going to be a little different then when I left them... However I've given my Dad instructions (with lots of pleases and thank yous) to wate...

Rain, rain and more rain

3 years ago by Katie

We've been having one of the wettest Junes ever here and although it is getting a little bit annoying now the garden is sure enjoying all the rain! I headed up to the allotment yesterday evening with my wellies and rain coat to pick some broad beans, I hadn't ...

A Sudden Growth Spurt

3 years ago by Katie

It looks like Summer has arrived and about time too! It's so nice to see the sun shining when you wake up and stay shining until you go to bed. The extra hours in the day simply means there is more time to do things and believe me, there is a lot that needs do...

Wales here we come!

4 years ago by Katie

It's that time of year again, the schools are off, the sun is out (for now!) and we're off on our Summer holiday! This year we are heading to Wales for the first time in my life and I just can't wait. We'll be taking our trusty VW campervan Florence on ...

Summertime Madness

5 years ago by Katie

It is officially summer time and the harvests are starting to come in thick and fast, as a matter of fact I can't keep up with all the crops! It doesn't seem like long ago that I was planting the seeds and now I have peas, broad beans, potatoes and peas coming...

Growth Spurt!

6 years ago by Katie

I planted my first early potatoes on the 11th March after letting them chit happily away for just over a month, they first popped through the soil on the 1st of April and then they suddenly had a growth spurt! We were forecast for sunny days and clear nights s...
