Where I'd rather be! Now that the light has dropped I'm back to weekend only allotment trips (the curse of a day job). Plenty of tidying up jobs still to be done though and I've always enjoyed autumnal allotment visits, bobble hat and cup of tea in hand! . . . #me #allotment #organicgardening #eatwhatyougrow #cultivationassociation #gardenersofinstagram #gardening #gardenblogger #gardenchat #gardeninglife #homesteading #smallholding #hobbyfarm #organic #organicfood #realfood #homegrown #growyourown #gardenersworld #sustainable #ecofriendly #eatlocal #digforvictory #kitchengarden #moestuin #potager #jardin #allotmenteering #myhappyplace

N o v e m b e r ~ Dark nights and mild days. Shortly after I took this picture I cut the strings from the bean frames behind and all of a sudden the plot looked a lot barer. There's not much still in the ground, some garlic shoots providing the only fresh shot of green against the faded pink backdrop of the last swansong from the raspberries and dahlias. My first lot of brassicas got slugged so for the first time I don't even have any cabbages or sprouts to look forward to! So it's time to pull the covers over now and rest and think of planning. Who else is looking forward to scouring the seed catalogues over the winter?? . . . #allotment #organicgardening #eatwhatyougrow #cultivationassociation #gardenersofinstagram #gardening #gardenblogger #gardenchat #gardeninglife #homesteading #smallholding #hobbyfarm #organic #organicfood #realfood #homegrown #growyourown #gardenersworld #sustainable #ecofriendly #eatlocal #digforvictory #kitchengarden #moestuin #potager #jardin #allotmenteering #myhappyplace

'October, and the trees are stripped bare, of all they wear. What do I care?' Posting this late because it's been a long and shitty month. In the few moments I've managed to snatch at the allotment I've watched the skies dull and pour out rain on decaying plants and burgeoning weeds. It's a reminder that it takes very little for nature to start reclaiming her turf. In the month I managed to get my 4 varieties of garlic in the ground and chip away bit by bit at tidying tasks. The brassica bed is cleared, the sunflowers pulled up and the twine stripped from the bean frames. Piece by piece the black weed membrane I use to overwinter the plot (it reduces weeds) is slotting into place. Next on the list is the pumpkin patch and the dahlias... to lift or not to lift?? That really is the question. . . . #october #roundup #allotment #organicgardening #eatwhatyougrow #cultivationassociation #gardenersofinstagram #gardening #gardenblogger #gardenchat #gardeninglife #homesteading #smallholding #hobbyfarm #organic #organicfood #realfood #homegrown #growyourown #gardenersworld #sustainable #ecofriendly #eatlocal #digforvictory #kitchengarden #moestuin #potager #jardin #allotmenteering #myhappyplace

Happy Halloween. Happy Samhain. Harvest time is at an end now and so marks the beginning of winter; darkness and festivity, survival and rebirth. I grew this pumpkin from the seed of last year's Halloween carving and it seems fitting that this year I carve its descendant. Technically Tom is the chief pumpkin carver in this house - head to my stories if you want to see what design he did. Need a clue? Ask @skyethegoldencocker... 😉 . . . #halloween #samhain #allotment #organicgardening #eatwhatyougrow #cultivationassociation #gardenersofinstagram #gardening #gardenblogger #gardenchat #gardeninglife #homesteading #smallholding #hobbyfarm #organic #organicfood #realfood #homegrown #growyourown #gardenersworld #sustainable #ecofriendly #eatlocal #digforvictory #kitchengarden #moestuin #potager #jardin #allotmenteering #myhappyplace

I don't know much about red hot chilli peppers but these yellow hot chilli peppers are great. These are Aji Lemon Drop: fiery heat with a hint of citrusy flavour. 🍋🍋🍋 PS There was literally no way I could hold them that didn't make my hand look really weird, don't judge me. 😂🙈 . . 🌱 Aji Lemon Drop 💛 . . #chillis #allotment #organicgardening #eatwhatyougrow #cultivationassociation #gardenersofinstagram #gardening #gardenblogger #gardenchat #gardeninglife #homesteading #smallholding #hobbyfarm #organic #organicfood #realfood #homegrown #growyourown #gardenersworld #sustainable #ecofriendly #eatlocal #digforvictory #kitchengarden #moestuin #potager #jardin #allotmenteering #myhappyplace
