This week’s Snippet on Sunday is brought to you by the letter P! Looking at root veggies and specifically parsnips and potatoes. We may still be absolutely open to frosts- but what am I doing with these to ensure a good harvest this year?

Whether you’re new to allotment growing, or experienced, one thing that we all need to do to be truly season ready is to plan. What do we like to grow? What grows well where and some things to try to avoid. Including a bit of a tour of my plots- and looking forwards to the year ahead!

A fabulous community Snippet on Sunday and the inspirational Willoughby Road Allotments … I’m absolutely in agreement with them that they are more than an allotment. Such an amazing community working with and for their local community in Boston in the U.K. Great focus on all communities and some brilliant guest appearances from local children’s group! This is absolutely what allotments can be!

Mid winter and there are plenty of things to be doing outside in our growing spaces whilst the weather is cold and before it really turns this coming week. Lots of soft fruit bushes need sorting for the coming season, vital to ensure good harvest and to try to avoid disease. With many different types of soft fruit it can be overwhelming, but it really needn’t be. Also looking at how the aesthetics of espalier can also help with looking after your fruits. Don’t forget to top it all off with a good protective mulch!
