A traditional orchard with 7 apple trees underplanted with daffodils... In areas where rabbits or deer are a problem if you underplant an apple tree with daffodils, they will keep away from it because they know the bulbs are poisonous.
Bulbs of all natures, chives and garlic are also good, shallow-rooted they suppress grass that could interfere with the nutrients gained by the tree.

We spent the morning shovelling three tons of cowshit onto the allotment which turned out to be slightly more than we were expecting. :D
Luckily our lovely plot neighbours all mucked in so it was fine.

Just got back from a quick trip to check the #allotment. Lovely sunny day. Spring #cabbage are doing well, #onions are up and #garlic also showing. Unfortunately, checking the #beehive revealed woody #woodpecker had been trying to get in!

6 followers · 15 posts · Server mastodonapp.uk@Plot_20 @fkamiah17 I grow a lot of beans, about 600 plants this year. What I do is get seed trays, half fill with compost and then put 50-60 beans in each tray and then cover with more compost. When they come through and get to 3" tall I gently pull them out, teasing the roots apart and plant them out. They don't seem to be affected by this treatment. You may get less in a tray with the bigger bean plants like runners and broad.

Been on the #allotment today, lovely and warm and sunny. The winter cabbages are looking good, so I cut one for dinner! Weighs in at 2.75Kg , the variety is Tundra.
The purple sprouting #broccoli is also looking good and is already sprouting, very early this year, the variety is Rudolf

I am concerned about the environment and worry about my daughters' futures. Has my lifestyle has screwed theirs? Are there any other parents out there who worry about this?
