#allotment

Salvaged strawberry plants, I found these plants in a rotted trough, which had almost completely fallen apart. Even if they do not survive being moved we'll have lost nothing, but hopefully these Cambridge Favourite plants will give us some mice desert strawberries during the summer #GrowYourOwn #allotment

#Fashion is so ageist. When teenage girls walk around with their knees poking out of their jeans they are trendy. When I do it I look like a tramp. Maybe it's time to relegate another pair of trousers to my #allotment chic collection.

Got out and did some more picking this morning and set out some more surplus for the passers-by. Found a very lovely note in the box later. Made my whole summer. There must be smoke in the air again, my eyes are all runny again. #Gardening#Allotment#NewEngland#GYO#GrowYourOwn

I can't remember where I got this information, but I heard that it's best to leave as much of the stem as possible when harvesting winter squashes. Here can be seen that small pieces of the vine were left attached so that the entire stem is intact. I believe it's supposed to help with long-term storage. BTW, this is a mini variety of butternut called "Butter Baby". We like them. #Gardening#Allotment#NewEngland#GYO#GrowYourOwn#Squash#Harvest

Yesterday, I told @VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social that I did not experience too much frustration in the allotment. Today, all my tomato plants were dead, the pumpkin and zucchini were infected with severe mildew, and my raspberries and runner beans seem to stop producing. And all that in just four days time. 😤 #moestuin #gardening #allotment #frustration #karma #gemusegarten #potager

Hello you UK #permaculture #OrganicGardening #Allotment folk. I have hundreds of bulbils from some perennial Babbington Leeks. I shared some locally last year with instructions for growers to save some of bulbils to pass on .. so.. there are lots around here already. If anyone wants some, I'm happy to post some out in return for a small donation to the community project I run to cover postage costs.

Today's #allotment harvest. Under the tomatoes are gherkins, tomatillo and achocha too.

A couple of hours at the allotment, watered stuff, plucked some weeds, dug the drain channel and while at it, spotted a frog! Also a new strawberries crop seems to be growing... And the grape isn't ready, perhaps in October. Left the track camera over a couple of days, at the allotment, had some 300 shots, most of them pointless, vegetation agitated by wind, but got a few bird shots including this crow taking off. #photography #crows #allotment #pond #enviroment #grape #frog #strawberries

It is all looking a bit crisp and dry now after over a month without rain and heat wave after heat wave. But Echinops ritro is still standing firm with its wonderful globular blue flowers. A true survivor and definitely a plant for future gardens. #flowers #allotment #climatechange

I found the old recipe for what my father called his "Chili Sauce" but always seemed to me to be a type of chutney or relish. The measurements for tomatoes and onions are by size not volume which seems odd but here's the image of the recipe card if anyone is interested. I think the origin goes back to our roots in Yorkshire in late Victorian times... #Onions#Gardening#Allotment#NewEngland#GYO#GrowYourOwn

Is anyone out there really buying this crap? Let's all go get antennas for our tomatoes... This is NOT an endorsement. https://kleone-copper.com/products/pure-copper-electro-culture-antenna?campaign_id=120243510297000495&ad_id=120248714133120495 #Gardening#Allotment#NewEngland#GYO#GrowYourOwn

We DID pick a few other things today to put out for the neighbors, but mostly worked on getting the onions out on the drying rack, which is really just a ladder and some bamboo canes on horses in the garage. This was our best onion harvest in a long time. Didn't count or weigh anything but they're mostly huge. 😀 🧅 #BeetBear#Onions#Gardening#Allotment#NewEngland#GYO#GrowYourOwn

Oh silly me. I decided to get 600mm square slabs for the #allotment instead of 450mm. F me they are heavy. Now they are on the plot I've got to position the blighters!
