    Heatwave and watering

    My plot neighbour was going away for a fortnight just as this heatwave started. He covered some of his more vulnerable plants with fine fleece stretched over some canes. I watered for him 2 or 3 times but noted that the fleece did help to protect them from the worst effects of the sun and heat, I imagine in the same way it helps to protect from the ravages of frost in winter. I’ve made a mental note to try this out when I go on holiday.

Allotment and Edible Gardening

This allotment and edible gardening group is to talk to like minded individuals about their experiences and plans, to exchange ideas, get advice, sharing of seeds, plugs, etc. - essentially, anything to do with allotment or edible gardening. I am also hoping we can meet up, perhaps in turns, at each other's plots. This group is open to anyone anywhere with an allotment or a keen interest in learning about allotment culture and edible gardening. As it is a relatively new group, we will also need to see how it evolves organically - very much my style of gardening, as chemical free and organic as possible :-) So far, so good ...do sign up, you'll be most welcome.
