Vase of daffodils and blue irises with a pile of light pink rhubarb stalks

Daffs, irises, forced rhubarb, and a job lot of purple sprouting broccoli. A good morning on the allotment! 😊 🌱

Watching the human do the spring allotment jobs is a bit tiring.

Been MIA for a while. Had a lot going on. Mostly positive stuff, just been keeping me busy. Missing the plot in this cold as i am very much a fair weather gardener 😂 how are we all? #gardening #gardeningsky #allotment #allotmentsky

Productive morning on the allotment, whilst I topped one of the beds with compost, hubby fitted bracing pieces to the larger of the 2 gates he's made.

Final gate fitted. Hubby's allotment is now secure

One gate almost finished on hubby's allotment, just the X braces to be fitted. He sys he's no good at woodwork, but I think he's done an amazing job

A manure pile.

That’s one big pile of shit.

Tomato vine where two tomatoes have grown back-to-back with a third, forming a very thin cylindrical off-shoot between them.

Tomato plant making a very bold statement today.

So my big burlesque tomato ripened!
Behold 666g the tomato of the beast.

I’m expecting big things from this weeks warm spell. If the big one ripens I feel like I should get one of those village fete prizes. #tomatoes #allotmentsky

Sweetcorn plant

Sweetcorn plant

Seed packet for Fiesta sweetcorn, multi coloured variety

A question for allotment and veggie growers: my sweetcorn is growing lateral shoots, should I be removing these? I've not seen it before, perhaps a feature of this variety? #allotmentsky

After 10 days away in a hot June. We had a lot to harvest. The Gooseberries are particularly good. #allotmentsky

First batch of onions harvested. These had all flopped over so were ready. All over wintered from sets. Not the biggest but will still get used.

Allium Leaf Miner. It’s that time of year when the females start laying eggs. First sign is a row of dots on the leaves of your plants. I always take these off and destroy them. A real problem of a pest that’s spreading rapidly across the UK.

Greenhouse sorted ready for season. Tomatoes and cucumbers planned for this greenhouse at the plot.

One of my favourites Pink Fir Apple planted out in tubs today. Luckily I saved some tubers from last year’s crop as I’ve not found any online for sale at all this year.

One draw back to allotmenteeeing is that its just work, work, work. Just never a second to relax.
