I’m trying something new with my diary, which can now be found here. Rather than just publish it in written form, I’m also going to record a new weekly video, called “The gardening week’.
The diary, will be the show notes for the video

A couple of recent harvests as we achieve spring abundance, we buy the tomatoes in March! #Digforvictory #selfsufficient #backyardgarden #kitchengarden #allotment #allotmentlife
Back harvesting again after a few days off #digforvictory #selfsufficient #backyardgarden #kitchengarden #allotment #allotmentlife
Cycling and walking today in between the showers #notjustgardening
Golden hour on the beach this morning, before harvesting #sunrise #loveukweather #beachlife #beach #gooutside #scenery #views #thegoodlife
Autumn harvest #digforvictory #selfsufficient #backyardgarden #kitchengarden #allotment #allotmentlife
I was suffering over the weekend, so I just did a little family harvest to keep us going. Normal service will resume next weekend #digforvictory #selfsufficient #backyardgarden #kitchengarden #allotment #allotmentlife
Yesterday’s allotment haul #digforvictory #selfsufficient #backyardgarden #kitchengarden #allotment #allotmentlife
It’s our allotments open day on Saturday, Debbie and I will be on our plots if you want to come along and say hello #digforvictory #selfsufficient #backyardgarden #kitchengarden #allotment #allotmentlife
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
Broke another harvest record this week, brining our total for the year to £4,000 close to a 20% increase on last year from the same land with more increases to come, especially in autumn and spring. 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
Looks like you had a busy but fun week!
We did, got me well ahead
I am jealous. I’ve a greenhouse full of stuff I need to get out on the allotment and struggling to find time to get there. I want it all out now and to sit back and enjoy watering and harvest. Humerous as I’ve been so desperate to get sowing and growing since January!!
That’s the beauty of growing year round, I’m sowing and planting every month of the year. It smooths out the peaks and throughs a bit : all the best – Steve
