BallaDoc Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Spring is here, and I have taken the plunge and rented an allotment. Growing hanging baskets in my back garden was like a gateway drug. It was OK at first but after a while I just didn't get the same buzz from it and I needed more. I tried geraniums and pansies - didn't think there was any harm in it. Then I was irresistibly drawn to the hard stuff, Brussels sprouts, peas, tomatoes, that sort of thing. I couldn't walk past a garden centre without buying stuff. So now I've been thrown out by my family and told to go do it on the allotment. Above is a picture of my allotment, which at present is a sad looking patch of weeds, old tyres and other junk. Also by the look of it a few resident rabbits. This what happens to gardeners when they hit rock bottom. However, over the next six months I am planning to transform this into a food forest. Watch this space. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDruid-3X3 Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 Today, I got to do the First Harvest from my Strawberry Patch in the Herb Garden that I built at the Buddhist Temple Community Garden.

BallaDoc Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Reminder: the IOM is on Gardeners' World at 9pm tonight, re. Laxey allotment. Further to my post earlier this year about my crusade to transform my own allotment from a sad looking patch of weeds into a food forest, four months later it is looking like...er...well, enough said, I'll post another photo at some point. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
