Is #allotmentgarden #communitygarden a #thing in other countries as well than in #Finland? People who don't have a chance to own a summer cottage buy these little cottages from the cities. I adore them. I know one lady who spends the summer time in her "siirtolapuutarhamökki" (cottage in the community garden in #Finnish) with her #cats. #suomimastodon #countrylife in the #city

Puolen aarin viljelypalstalta saa ilman esikasvatusta: parsaa, raparperia, perunoita, pensaspapuja, salkopapuja, lehtivihanneksia, valkosipulia, monivuotisia maustekasveja (minttua, ruohosipulia ja timjamia), herukoita sekä kesä- ja talvikurpitsaa - ja tietysti kukkia!

Ei viljelylaatikoita, ei turvemultaa, vain kompostilla lannoitettu maa.

I didn’t go to the #AllotmentGarden for 10 days because the weather was shit and I was busy. Came back to two of my veggie beds being absolutely overgrown with goosefoot (they’re new beds from this year so it’s probably because the seeds enjoyed being disturbed) and the horseradish poking up in new and exciting (not) spots.

Two hours of work today helped a bit though, but I’m happy I will have more time to get it under control again over the next few weeks

Yellow rattle flowering in my mini-meadow! It's taken three years to really establish. I wonder if the drought has helped it a bit as the grass is considerably weakened this year. #allotment #allotmentGarden #meadow #minimeadow #yellowrattle #wildflower

Went to the #allotment #garden today after a week away (travel + work kept me busy).

Despite the current drought-like conditions, things are growing nicely, and the weather even looks nice enough for me to risk planting my tomatoes down there tomorrow!

Took a picture of today’s harvest: a lot of rhubarb, 15 radishes, some ramson and sorrel, and some lilacs because I love the smell!

Woke up early and decided to head to the #garden to water (as we can water with a hose between 6pm and 10am) and then decided to do a few hours of work.

Got the second to last bed dug through, weeded (horseradish, ground elder and bind weed as usual), leveled, and prepped for my tomatoes.

Only one more bed to go before I have a fully prepped garden which will mostly be maintenance only! Can’t wait!

The water is still turned off at the allotment as freezing temps at night are still probable… but I remembered that there was a full water trough 100m away from the garden, so 4 trips with a wheelbarrow later the pond actually has some water!

First day of spring, sun is out and I’m in the #allotmentgarden!

Today I’m preparing to dig out a small pond, which basically just means removing bindweed roots

But there’s spring flowers and I’m currently taking a break with a cup of chai

Sometimes life is good

Allotments looking pretty good post-storm, in the winter sun. No damage to poly tunnel or anything else - the hedges not fences golden rule triumphs again! #allotment #allotmentgarden #gardening #hedges

Gonna relocate myself to the pool for the rest of the day and have potatos from own garden for a dinner.

At the #allotmentGarden I asked today, if it's possible to borrow tools. There's a full hut of it! The answer was no, because things might break and I should buy it myself :I
When I questioned whether it makes sense to buy a trimmer for the hedge which I am required to trim just once a year taking 2 hours, the old farts ridiculed me.
Everything this board decides or does is about absurd risk minimizing, mistrust towards anyone (of course tainted with the usual casual racism) and power mad.
It results in an atmosphere of fear, kills any community spirit, and disadvantages ecological gardening.

It's that time of year at the allotment. Time to rip out weeds - 4.5 hours later and there's a decent Before and After juxtaposition to be captured. #gardening #allotmentgarden #urbangarden #toronto #spring

I planted tulips at my garden allotment and was pleased to harvest a small bouquet today. #gardening #bloomscrolling #flowers #tulips #allotmentgarden

Has anyone grown passion fruit in the UK? I saw some on a recent walk and was amazed. I thought it was a tropical fruit. These were outside and thriving. #foraging #vegetablegardening #gardenhelp #allotmentgarden

Do you have an irregular-shaped veggie patch in your garden or backyard and want to plan it out? Just use the fence or wall structures in VegPlotter to mark the boundary. #gardenplanning #vegetablegardening #allotmentgarden #urbanfarming #homesteading
