Allotment slowly moving into autumn

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

I was given this pond liner for Xmas nearly 5 yrs ago- at last I’ve got it in on the allotment! Slugs and snails beware!

I didn’t grow the olive oil or the bread!

I’m inordinately proud of my first homegrown cantaloupe melon - the aroma coming off it is dizzying!

It’s taken a while, but I have at last finished the 31m pallet fence that’s stops the weeds from the unoccupied plot next to mine spilling over constantly

I do thing one of the nicest things about my allotment is the 180 view of the horizon above Exeter

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Pallets and some pointed cabbage seedlings: happy times ahead on the allotment!

Red sky in the morn, shepherd warn ‘sun god will be angry at tea time’

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Something with veg for tea I reckon!

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

The view from my bench on the allotment!

San marzano toms ripening up very quickly now

Greek stylee salad using all allotment veg for tea!

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Rocking the ‘dozy old sod on the allotment’ look!

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Some this, plus some aubergines from the greenhouse, turned into the base of a pretty decent ratatouille for tea!

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Most of the early summer fruit is over, but can’t complain that I’m not getting colour of the allotment still!

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

May not seem a lot, but I’m dead chuffed with this. Have had terrible results from sets over the last few years so switched to seeds and am delighted with the results: my first proper onions!

Allotment veg ‘messy’ briam for tea

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

… and cream tea with allotment blackcurrant compote for pud (cream first obviously: we’re not monsters!)

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Allotment veg and goats cheese salad for tea!

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Yes, but why is it called elephant garlic?

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

This week on the allotment I have mostly been carrying water

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

Garlic harvest a bit underwhelming!

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

Sweetcorn, squash and cucumbers coming on nicely!

020

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Berry selection and the last small handful of asparagus for this year

020

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Last of the broad beans harvested

020

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Some beans, fresh of the allotment

040

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Broad beans, scapes, asparagus and the first scant handful of strawberries

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

It’s not perfect, but I do love my allotment plot

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Cucumbers, squash and sweetcorn plants ready to go to the allotment

At least it was finally honest when accused of fabrication

Robin Bedford @bedcatalysis.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Interesting‘conversation’ with ChatGPT where it confidently and incorrectly made some chemistry up (complete with fabricated refs still). Don’t need to retire just yet!

Slow progress on the big bed due to shoulder injury- but getting there! Should be ready for squash and sweetcorn soon!

Three rows of beetroot in in front of the runner beans: half golden Detroit, half Egyptian turnip rooted. Grew them in modules first as an experiment this year, rather than direct sowing - time will tell!
