The tarpaulin I had put on the roof previously has proved its worth. I went to the allotment with many jobs in mind and low behold the heavens opened 5 minutes after I arrived! I was willing to work in a light shower but this was nearer monsoon level :) I hid in the shed and guess who followed me in.....

Yes our allotment friend Ginger :) I thought I would wait it out hoping it would soon pass, I had to shut the door as the wind was bringing the rain in the shed...

The rain passed after 20 minutes and I eventually got to work. I had to cover the Brussels sprouts. I cut some leaves of the plant to take home and eat, then started erecting a cover with canes and netting. I was really pleased with the results... and the Brussels are coming along lovely.

Check out these brussel sprouts!

Natalie's Allotment Tips

#1                     

Do little and often, consistency pays off.

 
#2

Talk to your neighbours. They will be able to tell you what grows well on your particular site and give you useful advice.

 

#3

Always net over green leafy vegetables as birds love to nibble them, theres nothing more disheartening than finding your brocolli seedlings have been eaten down to stalks!
