@timhopper.bsky.socialI had only gone down to try and escape the din, and to check on things, so was pleased to find that last week's storms had watered the toms. Many had split due to my not having watered them last time I went (quickly dispatched 😋) but I did take home a good many besides 👍 #allotment #tomatoes

"Bald-faced hornets are omnivorous, and considered to be beneficial due to their predation of flies, caterpillars, and spiders." -Wikipedia
@royandtanyaorganic.bsky.socialHere's the second of our #allotment espaliered pear 🌱 trees laden with fruit.
Maybe only a month until harvest this year? We'll need to net this one to keep the wasps off the fruit
@northernspinning.bsky.socialTwo more melons. Small, but sweet and juicy.
@royandtanyaorganic.bsky.socialReally pleased with our #allotment this year.
It's a lot of work keeping on top of 2 plots, especially with the Summer that we've just had, but very rewarding 🌱
Wednesdays and Saturdays, 4.5hrs each
@royandtanyaorganic.bsky.social#Allotment haul. 5th September. 🌱
@danieldarwood.bsky.socialSelection of this year's tommyfarters and chillies, plus the sweetcorn is ready!
@marcusxgrant.bsky.socialAutumn bonus
#allotment
The key factor seems to be adding sharp sand year after year to our clay soil.
@marcusxgrant.bsky.socialAutumn harvest.
#allotment
Annual grape juice production!
@turianshepard.bsky.socialOperation: Plot Expansion continues.
It’s taken a long time, and a lot of work to get this area under some form of control, but it feels like we’re very nearly there! #Allotment
@royandtanyaorganic.bsky.socialTransplanted the Spinach 🌱 on #allotment today.
Not sure, I think it's going to bolt... it's grown well, but it just started to look stressed...
Bed of cover crop filling out nicely
@royandtanyaorganic.bsky.social#allotment Wednesday - on a Thursday this week.
Small harvest, mostly soft fruit which needed to be picked and Tomatoes..🌱
@freedomtodoubt.bsky.socialBlood-vein and yet another mud-puddling Green-veined White on #allotment yesterday + some winged wonders to spot in September ..
