Much of the autumn/winter sown veg have been harvested but enough’s still there for picking. The beds are quickly being replenished with the early spring sown salad crops. #GrowYourOwn #HomeGrown #NoDig
Marks and Spencer sell these lovely propagators and they come with a free selection of sandwiches.
I was very surprised that the veggie garden handled the total neglect over those 5 days so well. Including a day over 40C. The strawberries were slightly non-plussed but revived.
The first task after arriving home late arvo was a deep water for the veg garden, and to pick produce for dinner. More picking today - so many chillies have ripened! More dehydrating for them.
Thursday Things
My winter indoor garden really helps cheer and 'ground' (!) me. We get dwarf Bok Choy, mustards, arugula and mini lettuces to supplement our salads of raw local red and green cabbage, carrots, apples and home baked beans Just seeing the growth and tending to the seedlings and growing plants, then snipping the leaves when they're ready helps defeat the winter blues. I have to try to pace the sowings so that the harvests don't all come at once.
@Pollinators This is its second winter in situ and the worm box is still going strong. The thick leaf covering has insulated it well in our mild winter.
I’ll sieve the contents first. The castings added to some home made compost, perlite and some coconut coir or leaf mould made good soil blocks last year.
I’ll use some castings in an extract for inoculating seeds with. With direct sown seeds I’ll add some castings to the seed drills. #HomeGrown #GardenAmendments #Wormcast
Worm castings harvested for adding to the seedling potting mix. #GrowYourOwn #HomeGrown #Worms #Gardening #Allotment
Mung beans and radish leaves growing for a little extra home grown taste. #GrowYourOwn #HomeGrown
Upcoming jobs before spring are to clear the overgrown front half plot and tidy up and re-lay a hedge along the boundary to the nature reserve. #GrowYourOwn #HomeGrown #NoDig #Gardening #Allotment
We had some actual sunshine today. I turned the compost, started a second heap, finally weeded the raspberry beds and added more fresh sawdust to the pathways. #GrowYourOwn #HomeGrown #NoDig #Allotment #Gardening #Compost
A handful of carbohydrates for tonight's tea. I think there are still some more in the sack but I've decided they'll keep better there rather than digging them all up.
It's like a Lucky Dip.
Colourful strips of different mulch materials on the plot.

The paths are now mulched thanks to some free wood chip and sawdust/wood shavings.
The next job on the to do list is to weed and mulch the raspberry bed. #GrowYourOwn #NoDig #Gardening #HomeGrown #Allotment

In fact, there are definitely TWO. Fingers crossed for more.
