Now these are excellent quality plants, organic and in individual soil blocks. But 6 leeks for £3.00? I didn’t say much, it was hard to breathe actually. Shock affects me that way!

So pleased my dad showed me the joys of gardening so I could have a garden of pleasure.
Helps me relax and escape in these difficult times.

Leek sowing time. Autumn Mammoth, Lyon and old favourite Musselburgh. I always sow mine direct then lift and dib out later. Can't be faffing about with seeds trays, compost and potting on for crops that don't really need it #allotment #GrowYourOwn #GYO

Today’s little video on sowing winter veg leeks and sprouts.
Now is a good time to get them underway.
Hope this helps.

Please let your dandelions bloom - they are incredibly important for pollinating insects at this time of year!

One of the many things I love about growing is the way it connects you to seasons. If I’m honest I find these short days tough you’re hardly out of bed before the light is beginning to fade #growyourown #allotments https://t.co/rbdfnGw2wG

Garlic doesn’t like to sit in water, so if your soil is heavy and holds water try putting about an inch of sand into the base of the planting hole to help with drainage and stop the rot https://t.co/HZOGJ0HsM9

It is a good time to split rhubarb, dig up the old crowns & split from the top down with a spade into three or four. Leave on the surface so they get frosted before planting out in early Spring https://t.co/mCXI8IBljU

Hope you all had a lovely weekend 🧡🌸 🦋

I’m struggling quite a bit on the mental health front again so will be taking some time out this week. It’s been creeping up on me for a couple of weeks now, I’ve done my best to fight it but I’m just completely exhausted now 1/2💛

[Hedgehog Society @hedgehogsociety]

Believe it or not, this #BankHoliday weekend is supposed to be a warm one! Please remember to offer shallow bowls of water for thirsty hedgehogs, like the one in this video from Paul Bunyard.

Hi #herefordhour, been very busy this morning judging the @LedAllotment . Very tricky job as there are a lot of stunning plots.
Superb location to enjoy our #herefordshire countryside too

[Ledbury Allotment @LedAllotment]

As a beekeeper I don’t think it’s that bad this year. The winter was milder and shorter than last year and the bees came out swarming early this year. We shouldn’t get complacent though, they have enough to contend with.

[Ledbury Allotment @LedAllotment]

Praise indeed! Superb show, well done!

[Medwyn Williams @medwynsofangles]

@charlesdowding Thank you.

[Medwyn Williams @medwynsofangles]

Very happy this morning. It’s a Gold👍 Anglesey the mother of Wales still produces the best vegetables in the world. Mon mam Cymru❤️k

[Busy Bees @BusyBeesLedbury]

We were kindly lent a bee hive by a member of @LedAllotment for the children to look at. They handled the frames & observed the cells. We learned the names of the different bees that live in the hive & looked at a selection of honeycomb. The Ledbury honey was tasty too!

@EmmaDee77 I don’t but I may know someone who does. If I see him I’ll let you know.
