A Courgette Glut Survival Guide

A Courgette Glut Survival Guide

The courgette glut is a well-known phenomenon. Every year I know it's coming, and every year I continue to be surprised by how many of these incredible vegetables can be produced by a single plant in a very short space of time. We have about 5 courgette plants on our allotment and I would say [...]

Our Allotment: Summer 2022 Update

Reflecting on the couple of years since we first got our allotment plot it feels like we've really had everything thrown at us so far. From cold snaps and late harsh frosts to the recent record-breaking heat waves, and from periods of drought to the pretty disastrous flooding our plot suffered last year, each have [...]

Our Allotment: Summer 2021 Update

I last posted about our allotment in this update back in April and that feels like such a long time ago! At was at the start of April that we had our offer accepted on our new house that we finally moved into two weeks ago. Since my last update we've had a very cold, [...]

Our allotment: Spring 2021 update

Greetings from plot 66A! When I posted this update in February we were almost knee-deep in water, ice and snow in some parts of our plot and getting very little done. Fast forward a couple of months and although things have been much drier and we have no signs of flooding (almost too dry if [...]

Our Allotment: Winter Plot Update

Oh February... This time last year was wet, our plot was flooded in places, but generally only where we still needed to build raised beds. The temperature was largely quite mild, and there was no snow to speak of in London. Oh how times have changed as we're granted yet more - ahem - learning [...]

Our Allotment: Autumn 2020 Update

I know there hasn't been much of a gap since my previous allotment post, but autumn is most definitely upon us so it felt like the appropriate time for an autumn update - winter will be here soon enough! Since my last update in August we've been enjoying our first homegrown onions, more dahlias, plenty [...]

It's National Allotment Week, so what better time to update on progress on our little plot? The last few months have rushed by it seems, and already I'm writing another seasonal allotment update! Having said that, I've just had a read through the update I shared back in May to remind myself where we were [...]

Our Allotment: Spring 2020 Update

This week marks a whole year since we first got our allotment. Mark and I have been looking back over photographs from the very beginning and although there might still be lots to do, we've come a very long way! I sometimes wonder if we're taking longer and being more thorough than we need to, [...]

Our Allotment Journey So Far & Planning for 2020

Since I was very small, I've always wanted my own vegetable patch. The fact that you can nurture something from seed to something you can eat is still amazing to me. Living in London, it's not easy to come by the garden space needed for a full vegetable patch, so until now I've grown tomatoes [...]
