Sarah, when my husband died I lost my house and now live in an RV (caravan to you). I’m fine with no house, but I miss my huge yard, trees, garden, flowers and plants. Watching you at the allotment gives me such wonderful feelings of joy and peace! You’re doing a great job! Thank you.

Thank you I’m just glad you still have a roof over your head that’s the main thing . You can go to the park if you want to see flowers .

The only bit of advice I can give that works in all climates is don’t over crowd. I know your space is limited but it will produce well providing animals don’t eat the plants. I have been gardening for well over 50 years from very large gardens to my now small space. We don’t have much of a problem with slugs and snails but the ground hogs are the great destroyers. A ground hog is a large furry rodent. My husband caught 7 this year and took them down to the tree lined riverside and released them. Remember don’t over crow. There is a tendency to do so in small spaces. We also have an issue with bind weeds. We have planted our sweet corn in rows for years., just like the farmers plant field corn in rows.

I just thought how we folks here in Ohio are: we need to walk out every morning to look at our garden, the allotment would not work for us. We do morning coffee by the garden in summer.😊

Can't wait to see the sweet peas start blooming. May want to give the seeds a "good" watering to get them started.

Its getting exciting now things are starting to grow. Beer traps are a good idea, you just need yog pots or something similar and put a drop of beer or cider in them and that will keep the slugs happy and merry. You do have to replenish from time to time especially when it rains.🌽🌽🌽

Love your burner for a cuppa, your plot is starting to look good your chives I believe are spring onions as chives are much smaller with leaves only about 4-5 mm wide and up to 25-30 cm long and a mild flavour
