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 ...

9 months ago by Katie

I'm so excited to be sharing the news that I've been asked to be a judge for The Great British Growing Awards 2019! And to top it all off I've been asked to judge the best wildlife product, a subject rather close to my heart. I've always been keen to welcome w...

Plot 15c Plan 2018 – Flowers, Herbs and Wildlife

2 years ago by Katie

It's funny to think when I first got my allotment I was all about the vegetables... I left one tiny space next to my shed to grow a few cut flowers before changing my mind and making a pond instead! Since then I've realised how important it is to incorporate f...

The All Weather Gardener

3 years ago by Katie

So the plans to spend the weekend up the allotment were thwarted by the good old British weather yet again. This time dear storm Doris was here to say hello and she brought wind and rain with her, not the ideal thing to garden in! However, on Sunday morning I ...

Frogs Welcome

3 years ago by Katie

As all of you know I love my little pond, I could spend many a hour sat right by the side watching the wildlife enjoying the water. Insects flying around the waters surface and frogs faces appear out of nowhere, then when the evening sets in they jump out read...

Focus on Wildlife

3 years ago by Katie

Round two of the big tidy up and this time I was focusing on the wildlife pond and the surrounding flower patch. Another area that's been neglected this past year and the poor frogs have had to fend for themselves, which I'm sure they are quite capable of doin...

So I was up the allotment on watering duties last night and I thought I would get started on tidying the pond area. Here's a quick warning... If you create a pond in your allotment or garden then be prepared to waste hours watching the frogs jumping around! ...

The Frogs are Back in Town!

4 years ago by Katie

One of the things I hate most about Winter is the fact that I don't get to see the little faces of my allotment frogs staring at me whilst I'm busy gardening, so you can imagine my joy when I noticed 4 frog heads popping out of the water on Tuesday! The...

A House with a View

4 years ago by Katie

One of the many gifts I got this Christmas was this lovely little toad house (which is also available over on the shop in the sale at the moment!) It sure is an upgrade from the old terracotta pot I was using as a frog house! It's ceramic and has some ...

My Wildlife Haven

4 years ago by Katie

I have big plans for my wildlife haven next year and it's all going to start with the flower selection. This year there was a bit of an experimentation with the plants I grew and I wasn't exactly happy with my choice. One of the plants I grew was borage and I ...

The Wildflower Meadow

4 years ago by Katie

One of the jobs I wanted to do before Autumn really set in was to sow the wildflower seed mix that I had purchased at one of the garden shows. First things first though I had to clear the new flower patch of weeds and move that old coldframe out the way! ...
