  1. First salad of the year from garden greens: trimmings from the chard and buttercrunch lettuce just picked up at the nursery, homegrown parsley and sorrel.

    Now the trimmed seedlings will be a bit less unwieldy to transplant.

  2. For some reason I've been up since 4.30. By 6am I was at the allotment. I got the rest of my strawberries in, sow some more seeds and got started on clearing another plot-holder's site because they've damaged their back and aren't able to do it. I didn't see a soul, just birds and cats and was home by 11am. It's early in the season and it's small patch of ground but it already means so much to me to have it to go to

  3. Spring rain, pattering steadily on the dry earth outside.

    Tomorrow more is forecast.

    The rain will make the grass in the garden, which is green but not growing much erupt into a carpet of spring vegetation. Flowers will follow.

    Maybe the rain will be enough to convince the reluctant aspen trees huddled together in a copse to produce some leaves.

    They are always the last of the trees in the garden to heed the call of spring.

  10. My onions have been ravaged by tiny black insects that crept up unnoticed. I’ve treated them with neem oil but I fear it is too late. I will pull them out, steam the soil to cleanse it, and prepare the bed for beans. #allotment #gardening #growyourown #onions

  11. Planted 8 Red Marconi sweet peppers today, and a couple of more tomatillo too next to the one I planted the other day.

  16. All the cucumbers, melons, squash, and 1 runner bean are up. I thinned everything to 2. When the first cucumber sprouted I looked at the bottom of the pot by chance and noticed there was already a root poking out! The hibiscus has another flower ready to open, the other fell off the same day I noticed it so I guess I missed it for a day or two.

  17. Hey everyone, sorry for being so quiet. But, hey, our opening day for 2026 is this Friday, May 1st!

    We'll be open 9-5 Tuesday-Sunday, closed Mondays.

    Pics are from today! The plants are looking great, but most of them are not yet big enough to definitively show their sex. They're (almost) all grown from feminized seeds, so will be 99+% female. If you want to get an early start or want to be sure a particular variety doesn't sell out, we've got lots of plants. If you're not in a hurry or aren't picky about flavors, give them a week or so.

  23. Something else I'm growing this year (in the #CommunityGarden)... #MammothSunflowers! Once established, they are fairly drought-tolerant.

    Sunflower Mammoth Planting Guide🌻

    "1. Choose a Planting Location:
    Sunflowers need full sun to grow tall and strong 🌞. Select a location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

    2. Prepare the Soil:
    Sunflowers grow best in well-draining, fertile soil. Add compost to improve soil structure 🌾. Sunflowers can tolerate slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.5).

    3. Planting Instructions:
    Sow sunflower seeds about 1 inch deep, spacing them 6-12 inches apart 🌍. For larger varieties, space the plants 24-36 inches apart to give them room to grow tall.

    4. Watering Requirements:
    Sunflowers are drought-tolerant once established, but they need regular watering during their early growth stages 💧. Water deeply once a week, ensuring the soil remains moist.

    5. Germination Time:
    Sunflowers typically germinate in 7-10 days ⏳, depending on temperature.

    6. Ongoing Care:
    Once established, sunflowers need minimal maintenance. Keep the area weed-free and support taller varieties with stakes or cages 🌻. "

  24. Made it to the allotment today to put the first plants in the ground. The sun was warm, the birds were chirping happily away, and the time passed peacefully. I even got to harvest some sage and the first 500g of rhubarb for tomorrow's dinner.

  25. Little update from my windowsill 🌿

    I painted these terracotta pots and planted herbs in them, a small, slow, satisfying project that's been brightening up my space every morning.

    There's something really grounding about tending to plants you also cook with. Highly recommend the combo of painted pot + fresh herbs as a form of self-care tbh.

    What are you all growing indoors these days?

  26. This year I decided to try overwintering my pepper plants .. I trimmed them way down, and they have been happily growing and budding, and now there’s tiny peppers. Like really tiny. They seem to be ripening, but remain very small. I just ate one, and it tasted fine.

    Will this start producing normal sized fruit or is it forever stunted?

  27. Garlic and rhubarb. Soft neck California Heirloom, aka whatever is in the bag you buy garlic. This raised bed is for winter squash, which will only be butternut this year because I'm tired of acorn squash that taste bad and/or don't store good. Too many made up name squash seeds out there from seed sellers that are just repacking the same bulk seed junk as everyone else.

  28. Garden update, new patio is down, built another raised bed with the obligatory #lfc signage 😜. Garlic and onions are getting bigger by the day and the tattys are starting to sprout, still loads to do but I'm a happy boy 😁
