We’ve been busy at the allotment and generally in life. Hence, the minimal blog posts lately. Since we started growing our own food and looking after the plot, it has become more and more apparent that we want to edge towards a no waste lifestyle. With this in mind, we have started to try and […]
Read more "No Waste Vegan Green Pesto"We had a wonderful day getting the first sowing of brassica into open ground a few weeks ago. They had been burning a hole in their pots, getting bigger and bigger. But the ground hadn’t been fully prepared. Once the soil was dug over, they were put into position and they looked pretty awesome and […]
Read more "A Tale of Eaten Brassica"Rust is a disease that more often affects leeks, but it is associated with all Alliums. This means your garlic, onions, leeks and chives are all at risk. It’s is a fungus that generally shows itself in Mid-Summer/Early Autumn (unless you are at our plot)…
Read more "Rust…and how to deal with it"Today we made an unscheduled check on the plot to see how things were going. Also, it was a chance to remind ourselves of what the allotment looked liked. Once again, it has felt like ages since we have been able to spend any time there.

Read more "Bank Holiday Progress"For the first time in a LONG time, we have time off work. Excited is an understatement. 4 days of doing things together which won’t get interrupted by randomly placed music lessons and emergency call outs to massage injured, aching muscles. You’d think that we would be relaxing spending quality time together… But, unfortunately for […]
Read more "Good vibes on Good Friday"Last week was a busy week for all things garden based. However, Monday will forever be known as ‘The Day of the Polytunnel’. We had been waiting a while to order it as, although we needed one, we were unsure where to put it. The delivery came and Jon put it in storage for a […]
Read more "The Polytunnel"Lately, I have been craving a burger. Not in the sense that I have been craving meat (yuck!) but I have been longing for a slab of flavour in some tasty ciabatta bread. Before we became Vegan, sandwiches were very much on the menu. But now, we have a tendency to avoid them. I think this […]
