For an overview of everything that I’m sowing for the whole year, please take a look at my month-by-month sowing guide. March is the most important sowing month of the year for me, well at least until August when we so most of the winter crops. Unlike August though there’s...
Overview of the week I’ve continued to be over tired this week, so I’ve been mostly at home in St Annes, but that’s given me the opportunity to sow seeds and do some potting on. Fortunately I’ve not missed much by being at home because the weather has been...
Overview of the week I’ve not felt very well this week, so I’ve been mostly at home in St Annes, but that’s given me the opportunity to work through a few allotment jobs and sow seeds and do some potting on. Fortunately I’ve not missed much by being at...
Overview of the week I’ve been away hiking on the east coast since the last harvest, arriving back on Friday, just in time to harvest again, so I can safely say no work has been done on the allotments. I did however get a few seeds sown on the Sunday...
Overview of the week The weather has been very changeable this week so I’ve taken the opportunity to get a lot of odd jobs out of the way. The most important of which was releasing the new version of my allotment database (see videos etc later). I’ve also managed to...

First post COVID harvest and the first time it’s felt like we have an abundance of summer fruits #digforvictory #selfsufficient #backyardgarden #kitchengarden #allotment #allotmentlife
We’ve had a great first half of the year, grown way more than last year from the same land. The bumper harvests are over now as I turn my focus towards autumn, winter and spring abundance. While harvesting ‘just enough’ over summer #digforvictory #selfsufficient #backyardgarden #kitchengarden #allotment #allotmentlife

I’ve increased close to 20% every year so far #digforvictory #selfsufficient #backyardgarden #kitchengarden #allotment #allotmentlife
Weekly harvests are just as we like them now, not too big, not too small, just right. We let the table be our guide #digforvictory #selfsufficient #backyardgarden #kitchengarden #allotment #allotmentlife
