Said martinis- Excuse the poor glass choice, I wasn’t going climbing to the top cupboard!

[Plot 20 allotment @Plot20_boro]

There will be Yorkshire martinis this evening. Many of them!

@Jannionthego 👍 enjoy- they are quite more-ish I find.

Spring like today

[Plot 20 allotment @Plot20_boro]

Last day of the break before screen tome goes through the roof so got out into the wilderness (within 15 miles) and enjoyed the beauty. Still too wet for anything productive at the plot.

@LifeatNo27 Sometimes all I need is to go and sit and watch for 15 minutes. Other times it’s digging and taking the rake to the earth, don’t know why but that is something I find really relaxing.

Too cold to allotment.

Is it just the feelings of this year coming to a head or is it always this dark this early at this time of year?

Hello allotment/gardening Twitter 😃👋..as you know there are rules with Allotment Fight Club but I’m going to have to allow a little bit of wriggle room on the first rule if this is going to work as a Twitter account! 🙉

@kellycleanup Every year I say “this is the year of proper labelling and not taking” 4 years in and still not managed it!

[Plot 20 allotment @Plot20_boro]

These sweet peppers are prolific and beautiful to eat. I am impressed- if only I could remember the variety, labelling woes again this year! #whenWillIlearn

Quiet of late, focussing on keep keeping on but the allotment work hasn’t stood still. This years squash and pumpkin haul. Even after 4 big ones were rustled I’m happy.

[Plot 20 allotment @Plot20_boro]

@ShowAmateur hi I’m going to add growing some large show veg to my list to do this year. I’ve watched some of your epic accomplishments, what will be the easiest to start with? (Not squashes). Thanks

[Plot 20 allotment @Plot20_boro]

One row of potatoes all dug up. Happy with yield and some decent sized ones too. In other news I may need some new boots. #nearMiss #tetnusIsUptoDate

[Plot 20 allotment @Plot20_boro]

@oakley_rod It’s not the best but I’ve been lucky up until this season.

[Plot 20 allotment @Plot20_boro]

Pumpkin rustling! Someone has pinched my shot at an extra big pumpkin. 🤬😠. Only way I can rationalise it is I hope it went to someone who was hungry.

[Plot 20 allotment @Plot20_boro]

@ShowAmateur Thanks 🙏

[Plot 20 allotment @Plot20_boro]

@ShowAmateur My@wife is from a small village that has a show every year- I’m always amazed at the produce. I think I could rustle up the ugliest carrot or parsnip! I know where to come for tips! 👍

[Plot 20 allotment @Plot20_boro]

@geraldstratfor3 I am a bit gutted but have a few others. Hoping they don’t go too. there hasn’t been much go missing on our site but that seems to be changing.

[Plot 20 allotment @Plot20_boro]

@ShowAmateur Must be a change up with no shows- good to see you still practicing and challenging yourself. I’m just growing for enjoyment and food but would like to show someday. Got to improve some techniques first!

[Plot 20 allotment @Plot20_boro]

@ShowAmateur I’d do the same to help anyone out. I always try to hide the pumpkins behind/with things. One of the other smaller ones could be seen which must have caught the eye. Frustrating. But there’s still some@others which are well on.
