And here we are, things growing well. Peas keep cropping! #AllotmentLife

Failures: didn't support a water barrel well enough and the weight of it cracked two panels of glass on my greenhouse 🫠 then the hoop frames for one bed kept breaking.

Drew some peculiar fish, of course

And today cleared weeds around this rose, put in an old washing up tub as a pond and started on a wattle dead hedge kind of thing. I’ll plant some comfrey and nasturtiums here, maybe a sweet pea trellis too

Lots of progress and feels so good to see it! Maris pipers are in, two raised beds ready for butternut squash (need to build a strong arch trellis) and spinach to go in the shade underneath. Started to cover the square for sweetcorn too.

Surprises include a rhubarb and a blueberry(!)

Living my allotment core era - next to pea canes and netting to protect the plants from pigeons

I have a functioning greenhouse! Been fixing glass panels and have two types of cordon tomato growing here: Galina cherry and Gardeners Ecstasy (both from Real Seeds)

"The survey reveals a sector that is underfunded, under resourced and under the radar. Women’s and girls’ organisations face considerable pressures, often disproportionately so, compared with the wider charity sector": @probonoecon.bsky.social. www.probonoeconomics.com/underfunded-...

As @zoejardiniere.bsky.social says here, there's a long history of singling out ethnic groups as scapegoats for crime. These efforts are always based in lies, with nothing but racism at their heart.
All these league tables will do is fuel violence and hatred.
