Hello and welcome to Marks allotment Diary.
Im a show grower and I plan to upload a regular update into the activities on my allotment. See what's sowing, growing and cropping, plus all of the preparation that goes into maintaining and improving my plot. Plus my giant veg growing attempts. Plenty of new ideas and techniques
I visit a few Gardening Shows through the year, and will be sharing my visit with my subscribers
Thanks for visiting and Happy Gardening!

Post lockdown garden tour 2020
A quick wizz round the allotment in my back garden. poor soi conditions but everything seems to be growing ok. plenty of tomatoes and chillies in the keder greenhouse. The dahlias are starting to flower. The brassica vegetables which I had planted got hammered by the wood pigeons so I must cover these next year
Ive just received a new grow light which im going to use to start off the giant veggies with in a couple of months.

A look around the allotment garden. Cutting back the dahlias to try and time them for September shows. The dahlias are trying there hardest to bud and flower well early this year.

I have been spraying with insecticide but the d...

How to put a cover on a polytunnel
Переглядів 8 тис.6 років тому
Today we put the cover onto one of gary from @Geordiegiantveg polytunnels. we bought the cover from one of the plastic retailers who is local to us. The best time to put on the polytunnel cover is when it is a nice sunny day (we don't have many in the UK haha). This softens the cover and gives it a little more flex. The frame is made from blue plastic 67mm water pipe. This goes onto 6 foot scaf...

Hello. Just a question. Do you still eat the leeks afterwards or are they just for show?

Why shouldn't there be holes at the top of the pot?
Because the water will just pour straight out when you are watering
Hope everything is ok?
