Sarah’s Allotment journey

Hi welcome to my new channel . I got an allotment 2 years ago having never really grown anything before the first two years were a bit hit and miss . Heading into year 3 I have decided to share with you my journey along the way . I kill things , I over water I forget to water . I make things I break things .. let’s see if I can get anything right my wish list and items I have used www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/F7OQU10TYTYE?ref_=wl_share

    Oh Sarah, I just love what you've done with your plot. So pretty and so homely. Love all your ideas- fabulous. My plot is really boring with no special place to sit and no flwers nearby- although i do have flower beds at the bottom of the plot, but not where i sit. I have added arches with climbing beans, climbing spinach and pumpkins/squashes. I would love some bunting and a nice colourful rug- they make so much difference. I think you've had more rain than me- not had any decent rain in weeks now, -my seeds are reluctant show, I have been watering them as the soil is so dry. Happy gardening 🙂

    Those pieces from your dad's garage are from an antique sewing machine. They were holding the side drawers in place. You definitely found a clever way of repurposing them. I have planted dianthus flowers for the first time and they have an amazing sweet scent. You win first prize for the design of your gardening table. Thank you for sharing.

    Hi Sarah. Love the new potting bench that you made. I just saw something that you might want to consider. You might want to put something on the ends of the bamboo pole so that you won’t accidentally poke your eyes. A pool noodle cut up or some kind of ball. I am sure you can come up with something creative. You are inspiring!
