Realise the world is a mess but ... look at this teeny tiny snail I found on the edge of our compost bin. 🐌 #permaculture #allotment #AllotmentLife #snails

Made these bean tipis (teepees?) from willow branches that were stripped by goats.

Spring is definitely in the air! 🌱 Caught some photos of a bumble bee investigating the newly arisen snowdrops at the allotment. The beauty of nature never ceases to amaze. #allotmentlife #bumblebee #snowdrops

Took some compost down to the allotment at lunchtime. Bitterly cold with the wind but very good to see the lungwort starting to flower 🙂 #permaculture #gardening #wildflower #bloomscrolling #AllotmentLife

New beginnings at the allotment! 🌱
After a couple of years unloved by the previous tenant, this 8m x 12m plot has started its transformation. I’ve been battling perennial grass and broad-leaved weeds since October but I’m winning. 👏
Here’s the blank canvas on a damp South West England day 🌧️
I hope to post through 2026 as this overgrown patch becomes productive ground again. Wish me luck !

I started building a new compost bay.

A very friendly former colleague of mine gave me this bundle of willow branches to use as bean stalks instead of bamboo sticks.

The first off 6 squashes from the allotment has been slaughtered!
I roasted it and made a pasta sauce with some faux chicken, cream, blue cheese, walnuts and a bit of thyme. It tasted sooo good!

When the new pallet collars for the raised beds at the allotment don't fit exactly in your car.
