allotment

/allotment147

For anyone with an allotment, communal garden, plots and everyone interested in growing produce (fruits & vegetables)! 🍅🌳🌻

Thick ice sheet I took from a water bucket at the /allotment

Very happy I emptied and stored my rain gauge last week, otherwise I would have lost it, like the previous one which I forgot outside and it cracked.
It was bonfire night last weekend at the /allotment, lots of branches and other detritus burned to ash, and to be turned into the soil for next season!

Do you make bonfires on your plots? How often? We are only allowed to do them twice a year here.
No more invitation system for /allotment! Everyone is now free to cast in there, no invite needed!

Spammers will be weeded out and composted! 😾
Harvested this bad boi last week from the /allotment, which will be our carving pumpkin this Halloween! 😻 🎃

With cooler days and plenty rainfall I don't have to monitor this gauge so much anymore. In fact, I hope I remember to take it inside so it doesn't crack due to frozen water. And I'll give it a good clean so the walls are clear again.
I love walking through the garden in the rain. The soothing sound of the rain hitting the hood of my coat and the views of the produce, make me appreciate nature. More people need to grow their own food!

7.2kg of Crown Prince Pumpkins!
On the left the finished pumpkin, on the right is a pic I took in August!
Second round of pumpkins growing at the /allotment. The flowers are a delicious extra harvest from this plant.
Also, this little robin kept hopping from branch to branch singing his li'l songs, while I was pruning out the fig tree. Great to have his company!

Can you spot him? 😻🔎
Pumpkin update! Went to the /allotment today, our "main" pumpkin is coming along nicely! Gave it a small rotation to keep it rounding off evenly.

How are your pumpkins doing?

Otherwise, lots of time spent pruning the fig, apple and cherry trees. The fig has grown massive, and needs far more pruning sessions this fall and winter, but it's getting there!

planted some seeds today.

water-blasted the chilli plants that have greenhouse whitefly

never had greenhouse whitefly before so am considering simply removing the chilli and pepper plants as they haven't been that productive

it's time for the autumn seedlings to rule the roost
Planted winter plants in our small garden today! 😀
Last big harvest of the season

Finally picked that red pepper 🌶️
harvested the damsons in the nick of time - filled half my 20 litre pot
