The old mans #allotment. Look very tidy. Looks like he's got too much time on his hands. #vegplot #garden #growyourown

Got the #sweetpeas in as well. A little late but they should provide something for the #flower show in a few weeks. #garden #allotment

A day spent weeding and we have something that resembles a #vegetable #garden again. Here we have a row of white and red #onions with some #potatoes in the bed behind. #allotment

What happens when you aren't able to tend to your #vegplot for a few weeks? This! Omg the #weeds. #allotment looks overgrown.

#garlic coming along nicely.

#pear #blossom up close an personal down the #allotment

First early #potatoes are in the #allotment. This year I've gone for Maris Bard. Got 27 in the #raisedbed

#Camellias are great winter/spring flowering #shrubs, providing a vivid splash of colour when little else is in #bloom. #garden #gardening

#nectarine #blossom. Spring in the #garden has arrived.

A #frozen #leaf. #Chilly old morning today. Not quite as bad as our friends stateside!

Bit disappointed with my #parsnips. They are all a bit mangled. The cold weather turns starch into sugar creating that sweet flavour. I thought after the frost the other day I would see what they tasted like. I can report that more cold mornings are required! #allotment #allotments #organicgarden #garden #gardening #veggies #vegplot #vegetable #parsnip

#strawberries and #frost! This morning was the first frost of the season. But we still the odd #strawberry hanging around the #allotment. #veggies #vegplot #organicgarden #allotments #garden #gardening

Two weeks ago I planted my #onions. Now I have some good growth. Warm #October down the #allotment. Anyone else getting a head start in the #vegplot?

Was clearing out some leaves and look what hopped out... A Common Frog (Rana temporaria). Have seen loads of #toads but not a #frog... Until now. Amazing what you can find if you start looking. #garden #gardening #reptile #herpetology #vegplot #allotment #allotments

Another wee beastie! Anyone know what this #caterpillar is? Looks mean! #butterfly #Lepidoptera #butterflies #garden #gardening

This years #leeks are getting off to a good start. Last year they were pretty darn terrible. #veggies #vegplot #vegetable #garden #gardening #growyourown #allotment #allotments #organicgarden

A Silver-washed #fritillary. Large fast flying #butterfly separated from other fritillaries by its pointed wings and silver streaks on the undersides. #butterflies #garden #flowers #orange #flower
