Speedy-Gon-Garlic –

February 15, 2015May 29, 2016 ~ welliesandwheelbarrows

I literally cannot believe how quickly my garlic has grown!

This time last week I had potted my garlic cloves up and placed them on a sunny windowsill under mini propagators.

Thursday –

Today (Sunday) –

Hopefully they will carry on growing, ready for planting out. At this rate I’ll be taking the lid off them next week!

Good Morning 💕 Although the Ranunculus have gone over I can’t help but think they look just as pretty now as they did when the petals where a deep pink. So for now I’m leaving them where they are. They bring a little bit of colour to the plot 💕 #ranunculus #cutflowerpatch #cutflowers #bulbs #faded #petals #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentmum #allotmentlove #gardening #allotmentflowers #colour

It’s been a productive afternoon on the plot. I went with a plan, and managed to get it done whilst little lady 👶🏼 played on her picnic rug in the background. I’ve weeded one of cut flower beds (swipe ➡️ for before pic) ready for some of my dahlia bulbs and zinnias. I quickly picked a few weeds out from around the strawbs in the next bed too 👍🏻 Hope everyone has had a good Monday ☺️

This afternoon I got a long overdue visit to the allotment in. The sky was black and I almost didn’t go but I’m so glad that I put on a raincoat and went anyway. When I arrived I felt overwhelmed (again) by the mess and weedy beds but I knew I had to get my potatoes in today and didn’t have time to dwell. So I turned my back to the worst of the weeds and focused on the job in hand. It’s not a very glamorous photo (swipe ➡️) but I got my second early and early main crops in! I was so relieved I thought I might cry 😭😂. And because I’d finished the big job I treated myself to 10 minutes weeding the strawberry bed and was so happy to see that some things are doing amazingly well considering they’ve been abandoned this year. Can’t wait for these to be ready 🍓 Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend ❤️

The blossom is still going strong down at the allotment (as are the weeds 🙄). Hopefully if we don’t get anything else, there will at least be some apples later in the year 🍎

Does my Rhubarb look big in this? 💁🏼‍♀️ Decided that BH Monday’s are a great excuse for baking, so popped down to the plot to gather some fresh Rhubarb and whilst I was out and about stopped at our local farm shop for some fresh eggs. It’s literally the first time I’ve been in there (not sure why I’ve never thought to go in until now 🤦🏼‍♀️). Also, I’ve decided to start an account for sharing bits of my life that aren’t necessarily allotment related. Since having a little one 👶🏼 I’ve been struggling to decide what to post without spamming my allotment page, so if you fancy a follow I’ll also be over on @em_daydreamer

We had such a lovely Easter weekend, spent with friends and family. I didn’t get anything done on the allotment (😱) but I did go and harvest the last of the parsnips, which have been the best we’ve ever grown. I’m putting it down to the fact they were grown in the no-dig bed. I hope we have the same success again this year (if I get round to sowing the seeds). Have a lovely short week ☺️
