Notes from plot 30

From Zach Moss

  1. Don’t forget… squash

    A nice reminder that amongst all the courgettes, I actually planted some squash too.

  2. Chard, broad beans and potatoes

    A look at my other bed — a range of chard, some Jazzy potatoes and broad beans getting on.

  3. Courgette plants taking off

    My courgette plants taking hold in the beds, from flower to first harvest.

  4. Hello frog!

    A little friend I found hiding in the undergrowth while clearing the plot.

  5. A record of weeds

    A little introduction to the weeds I found while clearing the plot.

  6. Failing my plot inspection

    A little surprise at failing my plot inspection, and a bit of work to clear it all up.

  7. Deciding what to grow

    Working out what to grow, buying seeds, and the faff of starting things off without a greenhouse.

  8. April blossom

    Some lovely spring blossom around the site and on the plot.

  9. Composting

    Setting up a dedicated composting area on the plot.

  10. Building some raised beds

    My first big allotment task - building and filling raised beds.

  11. Hello, Allotment!

    I’m officially an allotment owner… after 7 years waiting.
