Jo Rhodes<p>Was feeling this morning like we've been neglecting the community allotment this year. We've been short staffed and some of our regular volunteers have been unwell. I had a lovely afternoon down there potting up many things that had self seeded accompanied by lots of buzzing bees loving the lungwort and honey berry flowers. Now have many pots of strawberries, chives, foxgloves to pass on and lots of things are growing happily so all ok. 🐝🌱😃 <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permaculture</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Allotment</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/AllotmentLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AllotmentLife</span></a></p>

Jo Rhodes<p>Got given a batch of very old fruit and veg seeds and done some germination testing (most have 50 - 70% germination rates which is pretty good). Thought I'd just plant these globe artichoke seeds and give them a try. Seeds are allegedly best sown before 2017. I soaked them for a few days in water and then put in a covered seed tray in my car to act as a mini greenhouse. 2 weeks later half have come up. It really does annoy me the hype from seed sellers that you must use new seeds - it is true for some veg but for most things it really isn't! For anyone concerned about where I'm going to plant a dozen globe artichokes which will grow into enormous plants.. will give most away through our <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CommunityFridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityFridge</span></a> and keep one. <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permaculture</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrowYourOwn</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Allotment</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/AllotmentLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AllotmentLife</span></a></p>
Hesperalis<p>While Mr M was digging over his potato bed, I made us a cuppa using the old Kelly kettle which hadn't seen use since camping days many years ago. I know a flask is easier but I enjoyed the challenge of getting it going and it was remarkably quick to come to the boil. It also pumped out enough heat to warm chilled hands.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/allotments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allotments</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/allotmentlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allotmentlife</span></a></p>

Jo Rhodes<p>Nature is amazing. Planted some agretti which is a sort of Italian samphire two years ago. Nothing happened at all and just assumed it was too wet and cold to do anything. Just been to the allotment and discovered several clumps of small but very healthy looking agretti. Some chives in the same bed coming up too but this is definitely agretti. <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permaculture</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/allotmentlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allotmentlife</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/growing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>growing</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/HeritageSeeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HeritageSeeds</span></a></p>
Eleanore Duncan<p>Hooray! After 4 years on the waiting list we have an <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allotment</span></a> and it is really lovely. We are fortunate that the previous tenants have left a quirky shed, a large fruit cage and a well structured plot. It's going to need lots of organic matter as it doesn't look particularly well cultivated and there's a fair amount of wasted space. Looking forward to putting our stamp on it. It is 5 minutes from home and near a national cycle route. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/foodgrowing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foodgrowing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slowliving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>slowliving</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/selfsufficiency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfsufficiency</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/allotmentlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allotmentlife</span></a></p>

M.Paola<p>The process of identifying apples I find strangely intriguing, so that some days I spend considerable time on it, but also extremely frustrating... ie I certainly knew that apples, ripening in storage, change colour, but that a red apple would basically become a golden one? That I had not forseen. However, it made me realise what they mean when they say the hue of overcolour can be brown... fruitid.com remains an amazing tool <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/fruit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fruit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/allotmentlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allotmentlife</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/apples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apples</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/earlyautumn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>earlyautumn</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/horticulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>horticulture</span></a></p>
Hesperalis<p>Just look at that magnificent brush! I can just imagine how cosy my little mate will be curled up in her den with her nose tucked in.<br>As the growing season comes to a close I will be posting random photos of scenes from the allotment site, insects plants and stuff. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AllotmentLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AllotmentLife</span></a><br>I'd love to see pics from your allotment or garden to see me through winter.</p>
Jo Rhodes<p>Damp morning on the <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allotment</span></a> but lovely to see several varieties of <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/bee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bee</span></a> on our perennial <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/sunflowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sunflowers</span></a>. Some were very lively and some looked like they were still drying out after last night's torrential rain. <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/permacuture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permacuture</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bloomscrolling</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/allotmentlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allotmentlife</span></a></p>
