Gardening At The Allotment In August (Planting Out And Saving Seeds)

In this video there's planting out, saving seeds, making the allotment look nice, gardening plans and a few surprises along the way.
More Brussel Sprouts planted on allotment 2 along with Dwarf French Beans. On the Feel Good Garden allotment plot 1, I plant more brassicas, including cabbages and mystery brassicas with their labels missing.
I've collected a few bags af bark/wood chip to freshen up the pathways on both allotments.
Sunflowers are coming into their own around the allotments.
Statice flowers are doing really well and I pick more to dry at home.
The Calendula flowers need dead heading and tidying up so I cut off the seed heads and save them in a bucket for now. This will allow any seedlings to grow underneath the plants.
The flower bed will be moved to allow the pollinators to pollinate the rest of the allotment.
I bought some log rolls for Doug to make a raised herb bed. Luckily they are the same height as the raised strawberry 🍓 bed.
The rain water tank is going to be moved soon to make room for a new herb bed planter. Some of the mint and strawberries will need to be dug up too.
The Crimson Flowered Broad Beans although look pretty are starting to have rust on the bottom leaves so I cut them off.
The two varieties of sweetcorn are starting to grow cobs.There's the normal variety and a Multicolour one.
I prune the Lemon Balm plant and Chard to give more room for the sage plant and tidy up the space. I also weed what will be the old herb bed.
Another allotment plot holder Colin along with his business partner Mark has made some wooden Feel Good Garden signs for our allotment garden.
I show you the various varieties of tomatoes we are growing both inside the polytunnel and outside on the allotments. There's also cucumbers growing in the polytunnel.
Time for a tidy up and I save seeds from the old carrots. I pop the pruning on the compost heap. I manage to find a few small carrots before finishing off wood chipping the pathways.
I cut and prune the sage as Doug wants to make stuffing.
My sunflower 🌻 challenge is for the tallest sunflower and biggest sunflower head. Please send your photos to [e-mail]
