Mike RogersToday's Flighty's plot blog post is A short break
Richard RollinsonFinished potting-on the tomatoes and everything in green house is ok. Just need the weather to cooperate so I can get the cabbage and lettuce outside to make room to pot on the peppers and eggplant. We're making some progress. The rhubarb is starting to wake up and the soil temp. has now reached 42F. Small steps, but in the right direction.

YvanThat's two petri dishes put to use for parsnip seed chitting.
* Real Seeds "Tender & True"
* Unwins "Improved Hollow Crowned"
I chit parsnip seeds for efficiency and consistency. Means I can place out an even grid of parsnips with pretty much guaranteed success at each planting position. Which is much less faff than planting out rows, hoping, and thinning.
Frieda_MI’ve had this #allotment plot for five years now and I’m heading into my sixth growing season. As a sign of my commitment I’ve decided to take it to the next level and plant an asparagus bed. Started preparing it today. Also sowed some peas.
LaurenEven though it's a cold blustery day (accompanied by short bursts of hail) I spent an hour at the plot in my big coat to repot the scabious plants I've grown from seed. They should be happier with this compost mix and space. 12 Giant scabious and 10 Macedonian scabious so I'll have plenty to give away. #allotment #gardening
Kat decided we needed to go to the junk shop (Remo #recycling / #reuse shop)… now we own more junk. 😂
Kat spotted LED strings and decided they match the 2026 EMF theme. Spaaaaccccceeee!
I got some pleathery stuff & felt, plan to stamp out a disc to go under the thead spool on the Singer. Kat got some other fabric scraps.
I couldn't resist pads of sticky backed neoprene and a random cylinder of foam, useful things to have in the materials store.
I finally grabbed one of the cylinders of POM-C, been eyeing them for months… no immediate use, but it looks like good stock material for CNC.
In two separate parts of the store I found lanyards and bags with the bits that clip onto them. These are going to be used for our #EMFCamp #Tildagon badges.
Finally I grabbed a small stack of plastic petri dishes, one of which will be put to immediate use to chit some parsnip seeds for the #allotment.
#Electronics, #CNC, #gardening, #sewing all in one post lol… it's like #EMFCamp in our house.
PortabelloBelle🚚🇪🇺🏳️⚧️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.

Had 28F/-2C again this morning with frozen water (I'm never going to refer to it as ice ever again) in rain barrels. Will check on plants in greenhouse soon. Heater was on in there all night so we should be good. BeetBear is looking at the long-range forecast & has good news (it's warming up) & bad news (it's going to rain for a week). BeetBear's question is: "What do April Showers bring?" He suggests:"Muddy Feet" Anyone else have ideas?

KeithFeel today is the day to put the first spuds in on the #allotment. @allotments
BroadforkI made a neighbour’s unwanted picket fence panel into a quirky, rustic gate for the recycled chain link fenced bed. Debating whether to paint it (green or berry red) or not.
Maybe for future colour I’ll be able to make enough blue dye from the woad that’s growing at the front of the plot. #Allotment #Gardening
