My friend's little allotment was looking much as I had left it on Tuesday (So much for my visiting everyday, eh?! 😊). On first looks I didn't think the leeks I sowed (23/04/26) were showing yet, but on closer inspection.. 🙌 #allotmentgardening #allotments #gardening #vegetables #leeks #kent #england

My somewhat less-than-impressive first crop of sweetcorn from the allotment 🙂 Only just over half the cob fertilised, but I'm not too surprised as only six plants made it past the slugs to flowering. Rather anaemic looking too, but they tasted okay👍 #Sweetcorn | #Allotments #VegGardening | #Kent #England

It shan't be long now before I try harvesting our modest crop of sweetcorn. I count four plants making it to fruiting. I'm too tired now to look back and see how many I planted, but it was more than this, I'm sure 😊 #Sweetcorn #AllotmentGardening #VegGardening #Allotments | #Kent #England

Angela #Rayner: Hands off our allotments
We call on you to stop any further #sell-offs of our precious #allotments and to reverse any sales that can be reversed.
Listen to local people.
Once allotments have been sold off, they are lost forever.

Two familiar critters seen on my short trip to the allotment this evening. A Seven-spot Ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata) 🐞 and a Gatekeeper butterfly (Pyronia tithonus) 🦋 #Ladybirds #Ladybugs #Butterflies #Allotments #Kent #England

Dear Whinging Friends, :ablobcatbongokeyboard:
As we in the UK (allegedly) know, 'musn't grumble'. Maybe we should a little more?
- Brexit? Bet you can't eat three? Eh wait that is wheatabix, readybrex, shredded wheat/wit? Something tasteless with added sugar rush? :ablobcatpopcorn:
- The #weather is now so #unpredictable we can talk about it and whinge even more. Result!
- We are now #bank ruptured. Oh the #humanity
Easy to be a whinge bag. #Fortunately we have some of the #brightest minds in the IMPerial Empire of little In-gland:
- Pubic [sic] transport run by runner haz beans...
- Schools making way for Pink Floyd, 'We don't need no education, Teacher leave them kids alone'. #Sum mishtake surely.
- #Food #grown in #inns and out of hunger #allotments 🥬
Expect more surprises. As they happen, mostly by accident...

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

Here's a cracking recipe from Burpee Europe for aubergine fritters - perfect for using up a glut!

The darkest carrot on the market - Black Nebula - leads the new varieties for 2024 from Suttons! It's zingy colours all the way...

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.

Making potions. Horsetail tea for magnesium deficiency and hopefully, tomato blight control. 🤞

Making a few jars of rhubarb and vanilla jam using fresh rhubarb from the plot and pectin made from crab apples. Delicious.

This is FANTASTIC.
I'm a deep believer in creating small, self-sufficient and sustaining communities, especially where #food is concerned.
(Small is Beautiful by E F Schumacher is a #MustRead #bookThis leadership from #NewYorkCity is something to be admired.
Giving the local #community more #ownership and #sovereignty over the means of #production has so many fabulous benefits:
- Benefits #ClimateAction / #ClimateChange by reducing #FoodMiles
- Benefits local #people by reconnecting them with the food on their plates
- Supports the #Local #Economy by keeping wealth & spending in the local area for the benefit of local #business#Bristol (where I live now) is a city of #UrbanFarms and #allotments. It's staggering, actually, how much production capacity there is here. And I'm proud of it.
However, we must also be attentive to the #equality and #equity issues. #LocalSourcing can come with a price premium (local carrots here can cost 4x supermarket versions from the other side of #Europe).
Local production must come with local affordability too. That's a redline for me...Finally, this level of #system change must be, surely, a great example of #SocialMarketing / #SocMar in action!

Hey @BrentToderian - did you see this?

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.

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.
