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 !

Resistance Is Fertile

Resistance Is Fertile on Men's T-Shirt – This striking image embodies the powerful notion of "Resistance is Fertile," merging the spirit of protest with the principles of permaculture. A singular, stylised raised fist emerges from the ground, sprouting with roots connected to the fist. This artistic synthesis symbolises the strength found in unity and the potential for growth and renewal through resistance. The fist, a universal emblem of defiance and solidarity, cradles a flourishing plant, signifying hope and the vital connection between human action and environmental stewardship. It's a call to action for sustainable living, advocating for a balance with nature, reminding us of our responsibility to nurture and protect our planet for future generations

Excited to have my first food from the allotment. It may only be a few radishes but to me they represent persistence and hard work!

Still new to having an allotment, but growing monster veg is fun! Here is the first black Spanish winter radish to be pulled. Hope it tastes OK. " this is a large root vegetable that grows up to tennis-ball size, and keeps in the ground overwinter for you to pull up and use in soups, stews and stir-fries." Tennis ball for size. #VegGrowing #GrowYourOwn #allotment

Just harvested my 'Christmas' potatoes...

Also picked a good handful of Wild Kale and Nero de Toscana Kale for dinner tonight.

Turnips are still doing well in the greenhouse raised bed as are the carrots. We had a mouse go through a lot of the 'greens' and Radishes, they lost almost all their tops... Now I have moved the mouse on, at least the one, the plants will bounce back, slowly..!

More seaweed added to the now growing potato slips.

Not much to use down on the beach. We've had no 'bad' weather for a while now..! What seaweed there was/is has been at the high tide line for a while and is well dried out.

Still, once it is on the potato beds and given a watering it will serve its 'mulching' purpose.
