Good set of peaches developing. I have a rosemary bush nearby which is in flower at the same time so never have problems with pollination. #peaches #allotment #allotmentlife #pollination

Now we’re cooking! Added grass clippings to fresh manure yesterday. Light the blue touch paper and stand back! 🔥 💩 #compost #allotment #allotmentlife #manure #organic

So today is the day! Sowing giant #pumpkin seeds in the heated propagator. I’m inoculating seed compost with a small amount of garden soil. I’ve read that soil bacteria will help planting out be less of a stress on the plants. Thank you @GiantVeg Kevin 🎃 #giantveg #allotment

I think I now prefer @BeechgroveGdn to @GWandShows Gardeners World. Never thought I’d ever say that, and as much as I love @TheMontyDon GW is just not for real practical gardeners any more.

Dug up and divided highly congested agapanthus. Broad leaved variety bought in the market in Funchal , Madeira 20 years ago. Left to heal over in the greenhouse for a few days before replanting.

Everything gets a sprinkling of my favourite blood fish and bonemeal this time of year. Fruit bushes, hedges, shrubs trees and containers. Cheers! #organic #allotmentlife #growyourown #growyourownveg #allotment

Can anyone recommend somewhere to get some giant pumpkin seeds? I had some success at the RHS competition a few years ago, would like to try again next year. #gyo #allotment #pumpkin #giantpumpkin

One of our named oak trees here in the New Forest hasn’t had any leaves in a couple of years now. The Moyles Court oak tree is no more 😢 #thicktrunktuesday #NewForest #NamedTree
