This is my monthly view up the allotment for the end of February - a bit late, I know.
A large patch has been cleared ready for potato planting later in March if the weather stays mild and reasonably dry.
The smoke is coming from my burner. New allotment rules stipulate that bonfires must be contained, so I'm using an old washing machine drum to burn prunings etc.
The garlic has survived the winter very well under the protection of the plastic cloches.

The burn hidden in the allotments which is slowly being cleared of rubbish. I’m trying to work out what to do along the bank - it’s very bare and is crying out for some willow, but it’s also developing into a bit of a desire path. Ideas welcome! #allotments #gardening #riparian #naturewriting

@nottoday Welcome to the fediverse. It is good. The cat people have hashtags. The gardening people have hashtags. The shouting into the void people have a shared void. Example hashtags are #toebeantuesday, #whiskerswednesday, #gardening, #allotments

Collected Mr Ms seed potatoes from the local Horticultural society shop. If you have one of these societies, please use it. They normally have all your garden needs at great prices. Also, I found out today that our local shop and hall have had an increase in business rates from £4k to £12k! Madness.

burnedge.wordpress.com/2026/01/04/f... New blog post, first in a while. This is a little more diary-like than in the past, which may be the way forward as I work more on various garden / allotment projects #Allotments #Gardening #Wildlife #NatureWriting #WildlifeGardening #BlogPost

These last few nights the moon has looked incredible through the dark trees in the allotments. Watching and recording the final, almost imperceptible waxing, over three or four nights, is something…
