I think it would look nice to have one of the new rectangle planters across the walk you are making. Right by the new bush you just planted. That way it would be a bit like a raised bed! 😊

😂 Hard work creates beautiful spaces Sarah. Given time, this alotment is going to be very productive with food items and beautiful flowers. My Sweet Peas are sprouting well and i can't wait to see them in full bloom. Not only are they beautiful, their perfume is so lovely too. Potatoes are a great harvest and they taste so lovely when you get them from the soil, to your plate in one day. I'm quite excited to see all the developments Sarah. Keep up the good work girl. Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey eh. Xx

As a gardener who began looking after a very grassy back garden,I gradually improved over the next 50+years,until I was no longer able to manage it on my own.We had a succession of people who were sometimes a bit haphazard but we eventually found one who actually knew what he was doing.He’s been with us for about 4 years and we couldn’t be happier.He’s even older than me.!!! I do still miss doing some of the garden things that I would love to be able to do,even now.!!Love to you both.xx

A little advice from a fellow gardener and bird lover, if you don’t want to attract squirrels NEVER put out peanuts unless they are a fair distance away from your bird feeders. The allotment is coming along nicely ❤
@sarahsallotmentjourney

Ah didn’t know that thanks . They have not been seen at this feeder so far but small birds have so so far so good .
I like your bird feeder. I've found the squirrels take the bird feeders down and destroy them to get the seeds out so possibly birds eating the seeds. My seeds get eaten un no time by the birds. Mainly big ones though. Pigeons Magpies and crows. I hide some in the bushes for the little birds.

Soak the seeds 24 hours before sowing them and water every day if you can
I heard somewhere that it's better to dig a square hole to transplant things from a round pot. The explanation was that in a round hole roots will continue grow in a circle but in a square hole the roots will grow straighter. I tried it when I still had a yard but I couldn't think of a way to check the progress without digging up the plant again. For what that advice is worth.😁

There are two tools I use in the garden that are very dear to me. I use a garden knife with a saw-like edge to split the roots on potted plants before I put them in the ground. I usually cut the roots in four places equally around the plant, I find that stops them from being root bound even in the ground. It's looking great Sarah! As someone else said, I would use the grass you've dug up for your paths, money saver!

I can honestly tell you this is not boring, I am learning from you. If you buy cheap corn the squirrels 🐿️ will eat them and leave the bird food alone. I have a bird bath near my window and I watch the birds drink and bath in it. It’s cement so it won’t go anywhere. Great work this day Sarah. Be sure to have fun with your allotment and please stop saying your sorry you’re not doing anything wrong. Plus remember this is your thing to do not ours. No need to worry about us we are here to watch you and maybe learn from you. Have a Happy Day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

We don’t have allotments where I live so its been quite interesting to follow your progress. If you have a need for a video idea, would it be possible to do a bit of a talk on the rules and regs that come with being assigned to one? Are there any limits on what you can grow? Do you have to pay a rental fee for the space?
