End of June Plot Tour | Warwickshire Allotment Diary

Join Warwickshire Allotment Diary for an end-of-month tour of the plot\! In this June update, we take a look at the incredible progress across the garden, from the swelling Turks Head gourds and yellow courgettes to our first ripening tomatoes. It’s been a busy month of thinning crops, managing the "June drop" on our apple and pear trees, and protecting our cherry harvest from the birds. We also share some fantastic garden center bargains, including some beautiful Arabian Nights Lavender. Whether you're looking for allotment inspiration or curious about how we're setting up our IBC water tank system, there’s plenty to see in this mid-summer update. *Don't forget to like and subscribe to follow our journey through the seasons\!* ----- *Timestamps* 00:00 - Introduction & Turks Head Gourds 00:22 - Ornamental Gourds & Yellow Courgettes 01:03 - Butternut Squash & Resilient Cucumbers 01:29 - Ripening Tomatoes & Bed Updates 01:59 - Runner Beans, Peas & Cylindra Beetroot 02:41 - Kale Challenges & Grape Vine Progress 03:22 - Fruit Trees: Apples, Pears & The June Drop 03:50 - Success with Netting: A Massive Cherry Harvest 04:15 - Raspberry Beds & Disappearing Gooseberries 05:07 - Drying Onions & Root Vegetable Progress 05:48 - Physalis (Chinese Lanterns) & Fig Tree Stress 06:13 - The Leaning Apple Tree & Site Improvements 06:42 - Future Projects: IBC Tank & Fencing 07:04 - Carrots in the Ground & Globe Artichokes 08:06 - Verbena, Teasels & Flower Bed Highlights 08:35 - Pumpkin & Squash Varieties Update 09:05 - Transforming the Plot: From Black Sheeting to Greenery 09:40 - Garden Center Bargains: Arabian Nights Lavender
