After much debate, I’ve finally decided to offer users of my gardening apps, eBook, web site, diary and my youtubers the opportunity to support me via the site Buy Me a Coffee. Thanks so much for all of your support!

If you have questions, we have a FAQ document and video, which you can find here: steves.seaside...
If you are new to my allotment videos you might find a bit of context useful. We live in the north west of England, in Lytham St Annes, which I believe is the equivalent of USA Zone 8. The garden is about ½ a mile from the sea, the allotment about a mile, it’s fairly mild, but very windy.
A lot of people ask about the databases and apps that I mention in the videos, I make these are freely available, for more check out these blog posts steves.seaside...
We used to have three allotments in my family, mine (Steve), my wife's (Debbie) and my middle daughter's (Jennie) and you will see these featured in many videos. We’ve recently handed Jennie’s back to the council as over the years we now grow more on the other two plots than we did on all three a few years ago. We also have a small kitchen garden at home.
All of the plots are managed in an integrated fashion, so don't expect to see the usual mix of veg on each plot. I do most of the planning and seed starting. We each have our own plots, but we all help each other out.
Debbie's plot is mostly full of perennials, it's an ornamental plot. We did a lot of work to keep the weeds down and Debbie's approach is inspired by the TV programme The Ornamental Kitchen garden.
My plot is all about experimental growing, maximum productivity and year round abundance. As with all of the other plots I did a lot of work to control the weeds, but it's a high maintenance plot. I'm always planting, harvesting, experimenting and generally having a great time.
Collectively the plots deliver an amazing abundance of fruit and veg all year round. Debbie, Jennie, Jon and I are effectively self sufficient in veg all year round and in fruit for much of the year. During winter we sometimes have enough surplus to feed our local family. During the rest of the year when the surplus from our house garden comes on stream we have surpluses in some crops for quite a few friends as well.

Our approach to allotment life is to: grow as much as we possibly can, to be self-sufficient in veg all year round and in fruit in season, to give away our surplus to friends and family, and to have as much fun as possible. For more on self sufficiency check out these videos:
• Super quick update on ...
We are not slaves to gardening though, I spend about 12 hours a week on the plots (on average) Debbie and Jennie a lot less. We keep nudging that down as we eliminate non-productive work: like grass cutting, weeding and watering as much as practical. We are newbie gardeners, only starting the allotments in 2016.
I'm a bit obsessive about the nutrient density of the veg that we grow and making the plots easy to work because it's through this allotment lifestyle and food that I've overcome a debilitating auto-immune disease.
I'm always aware though that it might not last so I make sure that I don't work too hard, eat as much organic fruit and veg I can and design the plots so that I can still work them when I flare up. - Розваги
such beautiful stonework and quaint villages and georgeous scenery.
You have seriously made Dave’s day with this video! He went off and found a chart of Morecambe Bay that he bought for his dad with a book token that he won in a Library competition for designing a book jacket when he was a teenager (so over 50 years ago). Around 26/27 minutes in you pass a house with a yew arch (Cove Lodge) which was where his grandparents and later his parents lived. Dave’s grandfather built the wall and path along the cliffs towards Silverdale village. Oh and he said to let you know that the tree that you keep expecting to fall was there like that when he was a lad so he recons it will be fine - he will be 71 next month.
That's so great! Thanks so much for the feedback :-) : All the best - Steve

we are going this week 🙂
absolutely cracking walk today, we got the train from Arnside to Silverdale, then walked from there to Jenny Brown's point and all round picking up at some point you went to and back to Arnside, 8 miles but very worth it, very varied walk, sone road, some fields, some woodland, coastline, rocks, village. loved it, thanks for the inspiration!
Enjoyable video, probably worth mentioning the dangers of wandering out onto the sands, if the tide was out.
Kent estuary notorious for sinking sands and the rapid tidal flow, best to stick to your route along the coast 🙂
Good point, I did take a photo of the warning signs, but forgot to edit them in : All the best - Steve
I went there yesterday and they now have a little sand/mud 'tractor' for rescues, it looks like it can float and propel itself on water too.
My brother stayed there with school
Want to go here and humphrey Head this summeron a nice day. If it ever stops raining
I went yesterday, really lovely day : All the best - Steve
why are roads placed so close to buildings?
Drive ways are expensive as is land : All the best - Steve
