  Little jobs and big jobs on the plot!

  Aug 15, 202612 min

  Keith &Freya are in the August lull, the pause, that gap between the hard work of planting into the start of the harvest. This year that harvest has started early , with the heatwaves we've been having in the Cotswolds . So it's time to turn our heads and hands to plot-keeping, the little jobs (and not so little), that need doing. Painting, fence mending, general maintenance. It's also an opportunity to watch the wildlife and make sure they have water and snacks, because this weather is hard on them too!

  Summer fruit and water collection

  Aug 7, 202612 min

  Keith & Freya are on the plot this week harvesting blackberries, which are ripe now, very early! Perfect for a summer pudding if they can agree between them on a recipe..... We update you on our green spray to ward off flea beetles and brassica whitefly, both a huge pest this very hot, dry year. And what about water? The butts are dry (fnaar fnaar) , the bath is empty and having more water conservation is required if the summers are going to continue to be so dry in southern England. What do you do?

  Tomatoes, re-seeding, Charlotte spuds and spraying.

  Jul 31, 202618 min

  Keith & Freya are back on the plot in Marshfield this week, surveying the desert like conditions this UK summer has delivered this year. Sunshine and drought conditions mean plenty of watering from cans, but it also means seeds are germinating in just a few days in the warm conditions. It's time to start fussing over your tomato crop if you're growing them. Water, but not too much. Feed, but not to much. Allow to crop, but not too much. Toms are the divas of the fruit and veg world , but a little fuss never hurt anyone...... But don't over fuss....

  Hot! Hot! Hot! & Chilli at the same time!

  Jul 24, 202617 min

  Keith & Freya are cropping their French beans as they continue to be abundant, but the pests are gathering around the chilli plants and the brassicas with swarms of white flies that need dealing with if they are not to kill the plants. Spring greens have to go in about now so we have that vital link between the main crop greens in the Autumn (Fall) and Winter and that fairly crop free early Spring. We are still battling to grown lettuce in the high ambient temperature the English Summer has blessed us with in 2026. But never give up! And it's also time to plant the Winter cropping carrots in the Carrot-O-Nator!

  Harvesting, watering and the Houdini of the Zuchini (Courgette)

  Jul 18, 202621 min

  Keith & Freya are on the plot this week digging Charlotte spuds and getting a very pleasant surprise, managing the water (it's been very hot in England this year) and cropping French beans and Courgette (Zuchini). The pumpkins and squah need lots of water , the potatoes, less so. But, how come more plots don't have access to hosepipes? The fact is, it can be a waste of water and cans are more effective at concentrating splosh where you need it!
