@richrollgardener Greetings, and here’s to a good gardening season!

@Broadfork My plot is particularly sheltered too, which helps. I love that you get to see the seasons creeping across the country like that!

I am hoping this idea improves my seed sowing game a bit.

It crossed my mind the other day as I had seeds spread out on the table to remind me what to sow.

We used to use the same idea to organise beer keg badges and pump clips.

It's just a cheap "shoe organiser" with clear pockets (important!) from Evilzon. I expect it isn't fit for purpose to hold anything but the daintiest slippers, but it is perfect for seed packets!

The idea is that the left column is the most urgent, with the right column being like "in 2 months maybe". It isn't filled out yet. Getting to that this weekend....

My allotment is full of flowers, fruit and veg and a happy place not just for me but all the wildlife as well. 🦋 🐝 🕷️

Quick stop at the #allotment on my way to work to water seedlings and drop off mulch. It’s all systems go now. Beautiful start to the day.

I did some speed painting at lunch break today. Green is the new black.

I have over 3000 litres of rainwater collected in all the butts and over 3500 litre storage capacity in total. Enough to see the plot through a summer drought if need be. I won’t have to rely on any tapped water supply this year to water the plants.
