Now there has been some rain the #allotment autumn crops are coming along. Cima di Rapa, leeks, radish and turnip. Brambles to dig out and the last of the potatoes to harvest. Autumn woodsmoke is in the air #allotmentlife

getting picked and plants π± removed today. Yay! #allotment #gyo #sunnyNorthYorkshire
A symbiotic relationship with the guy who cuts/supplies our firewood... we buy all the firewood that we need and he supplies us with all of the sawdust that he makes. It fuels our #allotment π±
At least I don't need to buy sand to make potting mixes: my #allotment soil sits on top of a pure sand layer a spit down, with gravel another spit or two under that. I "harvest" sand in winter when digging hugelkultur beds. #GardenersWorld
How the Broadleaved Thyme has come back from its very hard cut back at the end of August π±π¬π§ #herbs #flowers #peatfree #thyme #allotment
Pretty pleased with this photo I took of a pigeon on the #allotment. @allotments
Red kite. #CrapNaturePhotography #allotment

#allotment Survived the inspection π
Had a "stunning" again, which was nice. Back home again - more woodbutchering.
So frustrating for everyone! Good luck with establishing yours. We're in our second #allotment season and have learned so much.
...and grown so much, too!

quintessentially Autumnal.
Low Sun, ripening apples, squash π± and a nibbled mushroom on woodchip #allotment #GYO
The #allotment parsnips π± are asking "can you pick those beans please?"
not really an #allotment harvest day today, more like a wee cache. Tomatoes π± windfalls, raspberries and cukes. #GYO
Beautiful afternoon, after the rain. #allotment plots 33 & 34
Itβs Autumn and another ten bales of peat free compost arrived yesterday, just enough for us to finish off the Autumn potting before it all starts again next year π±π¬π§ #herbs #flowers #peatfree #allotment #horticulture
Dear restaurant owners:
Please tell your customers that BYO is fine and free of charge
Just invite them to hand their #allotment tomatoes to the Chef on arrival.
They will replace those tasteless red slices in your sidesalad with you own sweet, succulent fruity treasures.
No #allotment in the morning (our midweek day). Heavy rain will stop play and plot inspection postponed by Council landlord.
Will venture there in the PM... expecting harvests π±
Done a couple of jars of pickled onions and shallots. It's what Tuesday nights are all about!
Loving the tomatoes from the plotβ¦ and theyβre still coming. Delish #gyo #growyourown #allotment
