It’s definitely autumnal but I’m still getting a nice haul from the allotment.

@savebutterflies.bsky.social is this a Scotch Annulet? Spotted in my Edinburgh allotment today. I’ve never seen anything like it and that was the closest I could find by googling.

What do you mean - that’s the birds’ food? Tastes ok to me.

The big guy came yesterday . Unlike his three girlfriends he showed no interest in food. He just sat himself down and looked majestic.

Sick ill or sick with the state of the world? Either way commiserations. Me I’m just heading out to chat with my foxes. They’re the only ones that make sense these days

It felt like the first really nice day of the year - sunshine, not too cold, not too windy - and I had so much to do but these two just wouldn’t stop hustling. #AllotmentTales

Domingo took one look at the weather today and decided to stay in bed till midday. Being a kind sort of guy though he did leave me a tiny space on the sofa when he did get up.

It’s brass monkeys here today & I’ve just given Domingo a hot water bottle. Now I’m getting all wrapped up to go out into the cold to buy him a replacement catnip carrot toy to replace the one he lost yesterday. Yes I know, but …

Beautiful day today. Freezing cold but the sun was so bright I wished I’d worn my shades. Oh and my pals showed up.

A lovely winter’s day today. I made a start on clearing up the allotment for next season and two of my besties turned up to help.

This has been the worst year I can remember for most people on the planet, and maybe I’ve become a tad oversensitive, but this is possibly the most disturbing thing I’ve seen in the past 12 months. Happy Christmas one and all.

I buy Favourites selection boxes of Felix with 4 different flavoured pouches and every week Domingo decides he hates a different one.

When my stress levels are going through the roof and I’m seriously contemplating ripping off my own head it’s always reassuring to note that my feline companion doesn’t give a shit.

Looking sensational in his winter coat. ❤️

Don’t I look smart in my winter coat? You’ve got a lot of gardening to do though.

The thing with going out is that you can pick up some medication.

An old friend dropped by today looking very autumnal in the fallen leaves.

It’s ok. You can keep on with your digging and I’ll just chill out over here.

I’m trying (and failing) to remember where the seeds are. They certainly reproduce happily all over the place and I think they look great. Here’s this year’s biggest one.

After two years of nada because my plot was repeatedly flooded I’m pretty pleased with what I managed to harvest in between showers today.

A magical moment today - I heard a noise and looked up and this buzzard was sitting on my allotment shed just a few feet away from me. Didn’t have my phone on me but got this very wobbly shot of him/her in the trees as I left. For a good few minutes though we were so close. What a beautiful bird!

Bluetits are some of the messiest eaters I’ve ever encountered Here’s my fox pal under the bird feeder demonstrating the trickle down effect.

My best two-legged buddy from the allotment. She’s insanely demanding but who could resist that face?

Really disappointing to see so many folk say they’re shunning the inauguration. I’ve already got my costume, thanks to those nice people from News Thump.
