Me, I'm not going to do as many tomato plants this year. Also, me "Would you like my spare tomato plants?" Yes please My 8 foot greenhouse now has 20 tomatoes 6 cucumbers, and 7 pepper plants in it. Looking forward to August #vegplot #gardening

It's raining but I can't keep out of the garden. From 4 ft high nettles to mini allotment in under 3 years. The purple sprouting broccoli is in and I'm so excited to see if my mushroom bed works. #nodig #companionplantinhg #vegplot #organicgardening #growyourown #mushrooms

Is this a record breaker 19 inches #vegplot #gardening

I love it when the fruit and veg shop is only at the end of your garden #gardening #vegplot

Spent a couple of hours tidying up the allotment. I have lost a dozen brussel plants to mice! I didn’t spot the damage until too late. Slugs 🐌 and mice have been a nuisance this year. #allotment # growyourown #vegetarian #mice #vegplot
