When you should be doing a 100 different jobs at the allotment and you find yourself seeing how many different fruits you have and realising just how lucky you are to have an allotment.

@Sofaflyer ☺️ It headed into a lovely spicy parsnip soup 🥣

[Esmé @BeetsGeneration]

Comedy parsnip I’ve just dug up!

[Esmé @BeetsGeneration]

Somebody 🐭 has been eating my greenhouse radishes!

[Esmé @BeetsGeneration]

@vanda_eldridge @Englishomestead That’s wonderful thank you, great present for my other half who’s the sour dough maker

[Esmé @BeetsGeneration]

Squash, sage and apple from the #allotment all about to be turned into soup

[Esmé @BeetsGeneration]

I normally struggle with growing parsnips but this year the parsnip gods have been kind. It weighs over 1lb and a 1/2 😄

[Esmé @BeetsGeneration]

@stewartwaine I grew this variety this year. Let’s just say I won’t be growing them again. They nearly took the roof of my mouth off!

[Esmé @BeetsGeneration]

Inspired by @srkitchengarden and @Steph_Hafferty I’m using the greenhouses more this winter to grow winter salads

[Esmé @BeetsGeneration]

@stewartwaine That’s incredible 😳

@Phil_Sledge My beautiful Siamese boy Humphrey, missed so much but never forgotten. ❤️

[Esmé @BeetsGeneration]

I sowed 2 packets of nasturtium seeds, not one germinated. Found a self sown
from last years plants hiding under the raspberry canes!

[Esmé @BeetsGeneration]

@greedy_gardens That’s very impressive, wonderful

[Esmé @BeetsGeneration]

@Septembers_Song Thank you 😊🍇

[Esmé @BeetsGeneration]

Last of the allotment grapes. Probably been the best year I’ve had with them. I’m guessing at over 80 bunches in a standard size greenhouse.

@GrowingRogueUK They are a black variety. All I do each year is give the vine a couple of good comfrey or seaweed feeds.

[Esmé @BeetsGeneration]

@Ali_Cat63 Thank you they have been amazing.

[Esmé @BeetsGeneration]

@GrowingRogueUK I’m afraid I don’t know what variety it is. I bought a cutting from a boot fair. It took two years before I was harvesting any grapes. But honestly it is so easy to grow in the greenhouse. It puts on so much growth I spend most of the summer hacking it back.

My lovely uncle built me this little shelter this summer. I absolutely love it and it’s just lovely to sit in and take a moment and enjoy the allotment.
