A few from the allotment plot recently.

Time seems to be flying by now, everything is dying back and crops are finishing quickly. I think the weather changing so quickly hasn’t helped. I have to admit, I’m not quite ready for this next season!

I feel like we had a terrible year on the plot. A cold and wet spring, cloudy summer and now a wet start to autumn… argh! I’m usually so upbeat and positive about the garden but even I have struggled to stay motivated this year.

If you’ve managed to grow anything at all, the well done!! You should be super proud because this was one tough year.

I’m hoping next year will be better. I have my new allotment planner coming out next month so we can all get planning and dreaming of next spring ☺️💕🌱

Some snaps from the allotment plot in July.

Not everything I’ve grown has been successful, but it’s good to remind myself of everything that has worked. I’d say the plot is looking at its best right now ☺️🌱🌻

Life at the allotment plot lately…

It’s been ages since I’ve done a picture post like this! The plot is looking vibrant and pretty at the moment and I’m so happy with it all. Especially after the difficult wet spring and slug invasion.

Hi everyone! Just to let you know, there was a video posted Wednesday. It might not have gone into your notifications as I accidentally uploaded it too early… oops! So in case you missed it, here’s me planting in even more main crop potatoes ☺️ next video will be today at 5pm!

It’s been ages since I’ve posted photos of my allotment plots! Here we are, first week of May 2024.

The plots are looking greener and brighter every day. The weeds are starting to spring up, the tulips are finishing and most of the crops I’ve planted are still alive (just about!).

I can’t wait to see how this plot grows over the next few months. It’s going to be magical!

Happy Easter everyone!

I’ve been away with family since Thursday so haven’t seen the extent of the damage to my plot yet after the 50mph winds hit… eek! 😵‍💫 but I’m guessing it doesn’t look like these pictures anymore.

Damage control will commence next week… for now I’ll be eating chocolate and trying to remember that it’s not too late to replant and sow everything for a harvest this year!

I just hope Harry the scarecrow isn’t sitting in someone’s garden tree right now 😂 (and if he is, I hope he’s having a nice time!)

Haven’t done a little photo progress update for a while of the new allotment plot! Here it is guys, ready for spring. How did I do it… honestly I have no idea 😂🤷‍♀️

I just… kept showing up. Sometimes I left feeling like I got nothing done. Other days I felt like an absolute hero. But somehow, every single one of those plot visits, big or small, added up.

If you are taking on a new allotment plot, it probably won’t be as bad as mine was when I got it. But I hope this will inspire you to take it on, no matter what state it’s in. It is possible to get it under control and create a beautiful growing space.

It takes a lot of work and determination, but yes. You can do it!

I believe in you ☺️👌☀️

My allotment garden in all its glory.

Hi! My names Emma. A few of you over here are new so thought I would tell you a bit about me and my plot.

I got the keys to my allotment plot at the end of 2019, about 4 months before the first lockdown. The lockdown suddenly gave me more time to spend down there so I began creating YouTube videos documenting my allotment diaries.

I’ve been making YouTube vlogs about my allotment for 4 years now and you can go back and see all the progress I’ve made from the start! It’s been a huge journey.

About 6 months ago I took on my second plot, another completely overgrown one. I’ve documented my journey on YouTube and over on here too, so you can see how far I’ve come.

I share it all because I hope it will inspire you to give it a go yourself. Whether that be taking on an overgrown allotment plot or just turning part of your garden into a vegetable patch. I hope that by sharing the ups and downs, the good and the bad, it makes you more confident to get stuck in and grow something yourself.

It’s definitely changed my life for the better.

Remember, if all else fails, just whack it in. Something might grow 🌱☺️

Spring is in the air!!

A lovely few days spent at the allotment plot. I cant wait to see it bloom now! I’ve been focussing on all the structures. I’ve fixed up the pumpkin archway and created a pretty sweet little sweet pea teepee.

Most of the raised beds are ready to plant into and the spring bulbs are coming up.

How are you plots coming along?
