The allotment today with the frog pond in the foreground. Alliums are starting to flower, giving some nice splashes of colour, and Geum rivale is flowering by the pond. We finally had some rain on Saturday but less than I hoped for, but better than nothing. #allotment #spring #garden

It's #InvasiveSpecies day at the #allotment. 1st and more easily dealt with is the Spanish Bluebell, which I figure I can just dig up, and replace with the native variety. 2nd is Marsh Horsetail, this is a nasty piece of work, it is everywhere I look. So, is there a way to eradicate it that is A) inexpensive, and B) doesn't involve fighting a battle that will last the rest of my life? #gardening

I’m planting out my #tomatoes earlier than usual, so giving them extra security until they can fend for themselves. 🍅 #allotment #gardening #growyourown

The allotment in the sunshine. It is looking greener and greener now but there is still no rain. Just more sunshine every day. I am glad now that we had a wet winter and there is still enough moisture in the ground for anything more deeper rooted. But I do have to water my newly planted trees and perennials to help them get established before summer arrives. #allotment #garden

That should be happy asparagus - plenty of groworganic manure, some chicken manure pellets on top, and a nice blanket of mulch. I sowed all the cucurbits too, and the sweetcorn. #allotment

Yesterday I did get to the Petanque club and had a couple of good games. There were three new players there - not new to the game, but new to our club. New blood is definitely needed. It was cool but not unpleasant. I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening in a bit of a downward spiral for no good reason, and struggled to pull myself out of it. But, at bedtime I fell asleep almost immediately, so perhaps it was tiredness. We're hoping to get to our #allotment today, and I'll finally remember to take the early potatoes to put in. The forecast is for a day of sunshine & showers so we might be dodging raindrops in a stiff breeze! Make the most of your Sunday whatever you're doing or dodging! #Today

Yes we were dodging showers at our #allotment ! We sat out two downpours out in our shelter, but on the third decided to come home. We had lunch and a cuppa in the shed, but it's not a joy being wet through. In between the showers: I got some seeds sown, Sacha got the dahlias and lupins in, and did some weeding. We came home with some glorious tulips (I'll try and get a photo later). #leicestershire #weather

@karakteristika@mementomori.social It’s a good question about soil blocks. The ingredients and moisture can be varied to get more robust soil blocks. #SoilBlock, #gardening, #allotment, #compost

A cold windy day up at the main #allotment but we still got a lot of preparation done, and weeded the whole Fruit Zone. After 4 hours in a biting wind, we returned home to a cup of hot Bovril. #GYO #GrowYourOwn

This little fella will likely produce more courgettes than I will be able to cook with. #growyourown #allotment #gardening

Meanwhile, up at the 'big' #allotment, crocus are flowering,, while the daffodils and tulips are in the green. And I've created a pond, since this photo was taken I've added an escape route for anyone falling in. Plants will be added next week, when I hope to get it finished. #Allotment #Wildlife #Pond

I can tell you how much rain we've had this winter. Enough to fill this beast with over 1000 litres of water. @allotments@fedigroups.social #allotment
