  1. Not looking too promising

    Predicted level for River Trent to go over 5m at Colwick lock by Thursday morning. That’s higher than we’ve ever known it. Some allotments are going to be under water and not just allotments

  2. The first two bottles of apple juice this season.

    Making apple juice has proven the best way to manage a glut of apples. We have two trees, this is the smallest tree but bears the larger apples. I think it's a James Greaves.

    The othe tree (not shown) is a Sunset. That one seems a little poorly this year.

  3. Rapidly approaching the time to get out some dahlia tubers and get them into growth in order to take cuttings. The bulk of the tubers will not be started until the end of the month, but by taking cuttings I can get new refreshed plants.

  4. Another hoverfly from my plot. Myathropa florea, identified by the "batman" logo on its thorax. Very common in most of UK.

  5. Good morning. Today I will be planning what flowers I will be growing this season. Allotments allow you to grow not just veg you can't buy in the shops, but also gorgeous flowers which attract the pollinators and soothe the soul.
