For anyone with an allotment, communal garden, plots and everyone interested in growing produce (fruits & vegetables)! 🍅🌳🌻
I have a few analog thermometers in my /allotment
One is inside the shed, the other is outside. Guess which is which?

Was a nice but cold day, so while our daughter fell asleep in the pram after a playground session, we hit up the /allotment.
Preparing for the spring bonfire/incineration in a few weeks by cutting up some larger branches, weeding, and turning some soil on our plot.
Tulips are coming up, which is always a promising sign of spring around the corner!
So much to do, and so little time--as always.
Have you been to your plots lately, frenpai?

We hit the /allotment today and I finally managed to prune our peach, cherry and fig trees! Here's before and after shots of the fig.
So nice to look across the plot and *finally* see all the trees at a level, non-crazy height. 😹

Goals!!!
I saw this on FB and thought of you lot!
apparently theyve removed the soil from underneath the leaf nodes.
Unfortunately they hadnt credited the photographer.

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!

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!

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

The pumpkins at the /allotment are pumpkining along nicely!
Putting on astonishing growth day by day. This photo was from the weekend but I wouldn't be surprised if it's grown by a third or doubled by this weekend! 🎃😻

Went to the /allotment this long weekend for an assortment of tasks, mainly starting the prune the apricot tree down to size. All the fruit trees need massive prunes this season, sheesh!
Our grape vine is coming along very nicely this year! 😽🍇👌

Green lunch! @entter brought the lettuce and my /allotment provided rocket and green tomatoes. Everyone so far is impressed by these delicious and ripe green tomatoes. They're buttery soft and juicy and full of flavour. Don't judge a tomato by its color.
We also had a colorful salad to pair with the all-green one.

We went to the /allotment today and did some various chores, including harvesting some raspberries! They're really coming on now!
Also dug out some native irises to clear out the front of the plot and plant some more strawberry runners.
