Allotment and Gardening Diary

Welcome to my first Allotment and Gardening diary of 2020. Every time i’m on the allotment I will be creating a short video of my time down on the plot and tell you what I’ve been up to.

This way you will be able to track my progress and follow my success and failures on the allotment this year. Hopefully their won’t be too many failures.

Allotment and Kitchen Garden Book

Are you starting an allotment or planning on growing your own fruit, vegetables, herbs, and flowers in a kitchen garden? If so we highly recommend the book Allotment Month By Month. This does exactly what it does on the cover to help you with what you should be doing in the allotment and kitchen garden each month. Below you can see the link for Amazon where you can purchase the book directly. This book is extremely popular with all allotment holders as you will read in the reviews:-

3rd January 2020

Today was a very cold day in Sheffield with me been able to see my breath. I had to defiantly wrap up warm. Unfortunately I did only have one pair of socks on and by the end of the time on the plot I could not feel my toes.

Today’s mission was to start clearing round my rhubarb and pruning the rest of my fruit trees before the snow arrives – which apparently is soon.

I did manage to get all this completed but I could not move the brambles as I only had one glove so did not want to risk getting thrones in my fingers.

You can watch the video here how I got on

After I finished this I planted my broad beans which will be in a video and post later for you to view.

Fingers crossed I will be back on the allotment this weekend to get some more work done and footage for you.
