Not too much news to report with regards to the plot, everything is coming along nicely but nothing to harvest as of yet.
I did get a cloche from Amazon to protect my cauliflower from the pigeons and I must say I love it. So easy to build and the net easily slides up to allow access for weeding and it looks so much better than what I have been throwing together. It cost £22 which is a bit more than I would like to spend but is still cheaper than others I’ve seen.
Getting impatient for crops. I thinned out some lettuce and used the ones I took out in some burgers. Wasted them really as I couldn’t taste the lettuce over the bbq sauce, cheese and meat. Also thinned out my carrots today and let the kids eat the tiny crops.
I’ve already decided I am not growing pumpkins next year. The ones I’ve got now are taking up so much space and they are only going to get bigger!
This allotment journey has really given me inspiration and motivation in all aspects of gardening. I’m now planning on changing up my front garden and being as creative as possible with it. So glad I started this as it has really done me a world of good. My mental wellbeing is better and my fitness will be improving too. I really recommend this hobby so much.
