Another full tour of Plot 35 — and what a month it’s been. From wind damage and failed netting to surprise grapes, bolting lettuces, blackfly invasions and the ongoing war with slugs and snails, this episode of Adventure in Taste and Thyme with Andy has a bit of everything. Join me as I walk through the entire allotment, show the latest sowings, harvests, repairs, and the ever‑growing to‑do list. We check on the fruit trees, tackle weeding jobs, lift the garlic, sort the chard, plant out lettuces, assess the tomatoes, and build the bean trench ready for climbing French beans. Plus: veg disaster bingo returns with new entries including hailstones almost the size of pound coins. If you enjoy real‑life allotment gardening — the wins, the setbacks, and the honest chaos — you’ll feel right at home here.
