Rhubarb, radish, onion and daisy kind of day Living my level 1 allotment life, which feels continuously a little taxing, but always more rewarding (see rewards, up above)

I don't care for plain raw radish, but love it when it's pickled (just a hint to all you fellow haters out there)

Lots of bumblebees out and about today, very good (always pay attention to the pollinators)

Surprise! Spinach!

It amuses me how you can put so much effort into getting one plant to grow. And failing while doing so. And yet… You can do absolutely nothing at all and get quite happy volunteers growing all over the place. This is how we ended up with a whole section of perpetual spinach. Weeds love the rain and smothered under them was this large leafy plant. There was a hearty crop growing and after…

Final horticultural post showing soon to harvest goodness, our allotment:

I think allotments might be an almost uniquely British thing where residents can apply for parcels of land for non-commercial agriculture. We’ve had this for about 5 years and share the work and produce with some friends.

It’s hard work, but there is nothing quite like the taste of sweetcorn that was on the plant twenty minutes before it went in one’s mouth.

County Council election season has resulted in some muppet coming to our door to give out a pamphlet and talk about capping property tax and putting our bit of the council above the other bits.

Unfortunately for him my mam answered the door, spent as much of the conversation as she could talking about allotments and community gardens, then closed the door sat back down and went 'I don't like him one bit'

Some wonderfully vibrant rainbow corn that we grew at work. They are like little gems and almost look photoshopped.

First decent harvest this year: purple sprouting broccoli 🥦

[horsfields]

This seasons onion sets, shallots, garlic, and veg tubers have arrived.

We’re fully stocked with fresh seasons goods!

What are you planning to grow?

Varieties of loose sets available:

ONION RED – KARMEN

ONIONS YELLOW - SETTON AND STURON

ONION YELLOW STUTTGARTER -

SHALLOT - YELLOW GOLDEN GOURMET

SHALLOTS - RED SUN

Fill a pot of loose onion sets with however many you need!

Plant sets in rows in any firm, well drained soil in full sun. Prepare the planting area several weeks in advance by incorporating some well rotted garden compost to improve drainage and soil fertility. Avoid planting shallots on freshly manured soil. On particularly wet ground, try growing sets in raised beds. When growing onions from sets, plant the bulbs so that the tip of bulb is just protruding through the

soil surface. Leave a space of 10cm between each bulb,

and 30cm (12") between each row.

We’re here to help with seed and planting advise, why not pop in and ask.

We are open seven days a week 10am - 4pm.

And so we begin to eat what we grow 🍓🥬

What a month June was! It started off with us being inundated with strawberries. We have made some jam, froze some, made loads of smoothies – and of course ate them fresh 😋 And we finally grew some greens! The cold wet spring meant that the slugs went after most of what we sowed. I didn’t have any lettuce survive but we had 3 spinach plants and a good amount of mustard make it. At the end of…

HeloOooo~

Sorry for not being very active here on Tumblr lately.

So many things have been going on and we got water damage in our apartment so we need to move away asap so they can start the renovations. And that is easier said than done with the flock of 50 budgies. So yeah, times are tough. But a good friend of mine agreed to foster 20-30 birds until we get to move back to our original apartment. The new apartment doesn't have a room for birds so we need to have them in the living room. 🙃

A quick update for you! 🙏🏻

Look for the reel in the next few days. I will tell you more about this year's harvest 😊 I have very mixed results.
