    🌞🌻ABOUT THE CHANNEL🌻🌞
    Bored of the usual vanilla, ‘Pollyanna-esque’ allotment/gardening vlog formats that saturate UA-cam, we decided to start our own, unique channel in 2023. Follow the adventures of our family as we navigate life on two allotment plots based in Devon in the UK. The Allotment Family Diary offers a light-hearted, realistic and informative look at the daily running of two large allotment plots. Chocked with dry-wit and lovingly edited, we film hours of footage each month to bring you weekly episodes that document life at our allotment plots, and sometimes outside of them.
    🌷🌻ABOUT THE ALLOTMENT FAMILY🌻🌷
    Tilly and Nick have maintained their plot for almost ten years now, and Tom (their son), Han (Tom's wife), and Flo (Tom and Han's daughter) acquired theirs in May 2023, with a plot extension in Feb 2024. Look forward to seeing Alfie (an elderly lurcher) and Tor (a young Romanian rescue dog) joining us in our diaries, as well as our 6 chickens (new additions to the Allotment Family), and various stray cats and other wildlife that call the allotment their home.

    I call cape gooseberries, ground cherries. We eat them after they drop off. They are very prolific, it's one of my husband's favourite treats. I am also busy tidying up for winter, it gets pretty cold here in Sask. So I just have a winter break, and dream about next year. Your plot is great, plus your hair is so cute like that.

      Thankyou for your kind comments. It is absolutely pouring down with rain just now and really high winds. Hopefully will clear a bit so we can sort our plots before the real dark nights set in. It is so lovely to hear from you. ❤Tilly

    Good to see you Tilley and wow a tshirt 😮 it’s too cold here now 😂. Great water thingy majig 😅. Lots of amazing harvest and still so much to come. Yes I grew horseradish in a bed once and only once and then it took me 3 years to get rid of it 🤦‍♀️. Lovely update I hope it’s still as sunny as this video, Ali ☔️🌞🇨🇦

    to freeze your apples Tilly peel and slice into salted water drain do not rinse pat dry and bag up they will not taste salty and will stay nice and white i am 77 years old and been doing this for years love the family and vlogs very best wishes from Judy xx

    • @AllotmentFamilyDiary
      @AllotmentFamilyDiary  Місяць тому +1

      Thankyou, I will try that as I usually put lemon juice over the peeled apples but still get some ‘browning’, especially if I cook the fruit before I freeze. Thankyou so much for your tip.❤ Tilly

    Lovely video and informative. So much great produce. I only grow in my back garden, so less space. Quick question. Have you checked if those pallets are chemical free? As I’ve heard others mention not to use blue pallets.

    • @AllotmentFamilyDiary
      @AllotmentFamilyDiary  Місяць тому +3

      Tysm for watching! Yes, Any blue pallet marked with MB should be avoided as they contain Methyl Bromide which is highly toxic. Ours have all been checked and do not have the marking ☺️

    I see you’re growing beans for drying. I have black turtle beans which are starting to dry on the plants but the pods have some mould starting, probably because the weather has been so wet. Do you know if they’ll be okay to store after shelling if the pods had mould on them? Love seeing your chickens, they are such characters!

    • @AllotmentFamilyDiary
      @AllotmentFamilyDiary  Місяць тому +2

      If the beans inside the pods look a bit iffy I wouldn’t use them. Mine are the same so not sure if they will be very successful this year. I think the rain has caught them unawares again!

    Your corn looks great! Mine didn't do so well but hope it's better next year. Love the bird bath water. My bees like to drink from things like that. I know the wind was a bother, I enjoyed the naturalness of it. Truly enjoyed the video. Chicken drama is the best drama! What are the dimensions of Tilly's plot? There is so much going on!

    • @AllotmentFamilyDiary
