A Week at the Plot

My weekly video series 'A Week at the Plot' shows what I've been up to at our allotment each week, showing how allotmenteering, growing and gardening can be a 52-week a year joy and task.  It's all about little and often; preparation, what's growing, being sown, harvested, enjoyed and much more - mainly postive and always honest.

'A Week at the Plot' is not necessarily daily vlogs, though regular short ones that are strung together, topped and tailed, and posted on YouTube at 8.15am on a Monday and a Wednesday (if in two parts). These are in addition to our regular plot tours at our UK No Dig allotment in West London.

The full playlist of over 150 weekly videos can be found on A Week at the Plot - Playlist.
