🌞🌻ABOUT THE CHANNEL🌻🌞
Bored of the usual vanilla, ‘Pollyanna-esque’ allotment/gardening vlog formats that saturate KZbin, we decided to start our own, unique channel in 2023. Follow the adventures of our family as we navigate life on two allotment plots based in Devon in the UK. The Allotment Family Diary offers a light-hearted, realistic and informative look at the daily running of two large allotment plots. Chocked with dry-wit and lovingly edited, we film hours of footage each month to bring you weekly episodes that document life at our allotment plots, and sometimes outside of them.
🌷🌻ABOUT THE ALLOTMENT FAMILY🌻🌷
Tilly and Nick have maintained their plot for almost ten years now, and Tom (their son), Han (Tom's wife), and Flo (Tom and Han's daughter) acquired theirs in May 2023, with a plot extension in Feb 2024. Look forward to seeing Alfie (an elderly lurcher) and Tor (a young Romanian rescue dog) joining us in our diaries, as well as our 6 chickens (new additions to the Allotment Family), and various stray cats and other wildlife that call the allotment their home.

Tysm, Jerry! That means a lot to us ☺️

Beautiful garden and I love the daisies

[@AllotmentFamilyDiary]

Tysm! They are very beautiful, although very fast growing. Ty for watching ☺️

[@marking-time-gardens]

Oh Tilly I love your garden plots! We garden so much alike... "we garden with our hearts!" Very beautiful! Blessings on everyone and your growing season Kiddos! 🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿💚🙏💕🥰

[@AllotmentFamilyDiary]

Oh thankyou so much. I do appreciate your comments so much❤

[@helenstewart2085]

Enjoying the tours. So many Allotments seem to have been abandoned for many years, before they are brought back into production. The councils etc who are meant to manage these Allotments, appear to not communicate effectively with current Allotment users except to complain about silly things like numbering.

[@AllotmentFamilyDiary]

We agree! So many tenants work hard in their plots for many years only to be struck with silly rules. Tysm for watching us ☺️

[@michelleslow5603]

Thanks for the tip about the borlotti beans have only every dried them such a faff when want to use them having to soak them will be freezing this years.❤🇦🇺

[@AllotmentFamilyDiary]

[@DanSmithing]

corn my all time favourite crop. That rosemary is gigantic compared to my minuscule stems! what an achievement having a plot for so long and it looks stunning Tilly. I enjoy the editing you do on the content and it stands out from the rest in a good way. Keep it up and another great tour everyone 👍

[@AllotmentFamilyDiary]

Ty, Dan! We’ve plenty more content planned and are so happy you are enjoying the format. Let us know if you need any tips! ☺️

[@Plotonthehill]

Great plot Tilly, I love quirky so keep going. 😘

[@AllotmentFamilyDiary]

Tysm for watching! Will be sure to tell Tilly ☺️

[@rosemarytaylor3516]

[@AllotmentFamilyDiary]

Tysm for watching ☺️

[@lorrainegrey8240]

Your plot is beautiful so much of your personality on both! I love crown Prince they’re my favourite squash and I agree they keep for ages ❤x

[@AllotmentFamilyDiary]

Yes they are my favourite and I need to get some growing next year. Tom and I will be swapping crops next year so I’m hoping I will have more scope for plenty of squash then. Thankyou for your lovely comments. ❤hope you enjoy your summer growing season.

[@julieg1270]

Tilly, you have a wonderful, nice plot. Thank you for the tour around. Your rhubarb looks amazing. How many harvests do you get in the season ? Last year I got 4, this year I got one very large harvest. You should try making rhubarb BBQ sauce. I did one year, and it was very different, but a yummy sauce 😊 looking forward to your next video xx ❤

[@AllotmentFamilyDiary]

Wouldn’t mind the recipe for the sauce, it sounds yummy❤Tilly

[@AllotmentFamilyDiary]

@@julieg1270 Thankyou. I usually get one forced harvest a year and 2 more. I have just harvested a small amount today and given it a good feed phostrogen as it seems to have recovered from the fungal thing we dealt with a couple of months ago. Hannah and I are looking forward to making flavoured gins, possibly rhubarb and ginger!❤

[@julieg1270]

@AllotmentFamilyDiary Rhubarb BBQ sauce 8 Cups of small cut pieces of Rhubarb 3-1/2 Cups brown sugar 1-1/2 Cups chopped raisins 1/2 Cup chopped onion 1/2 Cup apple cider vinegar ( can use white if preferred) I love apple cider vinegar myself 😃 1 tspn of salt 1 tspn ground cinnamon 1 tspn ground ginger 1 tspn ground allspice Method : put all ingredients in a saucepan and cook until all ingredients are cooked down reduced to sauce. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Use hand blender or a blender to whizz the sauce up to a smooth consistency, or can also push sauce through a mesh sieve. Pour sauce into sterile jars. And finally the best bit...... Enjoy 😄

[@julieg1270]

@AllotmentFamilyDiary One thing I do for my Rhubarb every year is all the Rhubarb leaves 🍃 I throw right on top of the Rhubarb and give back that goodness to the Rhubarb. The leaves break down so fast, and it doesn't smother any Rhubarb that is still coming up. I believe that the Rhubarb leaves are a great food for itself. 😃

[@AnneHeyns]

A lovely old allotment and you doing great with it☺

A pleasure. Tysm for watching ☺️

[@TheVeganicGardener]

Lovely plot 💜 also please becareful of the pallets you use and what they have been treated with.. they should have a mark stamped into them..unfortunately blue pallets are usually full of toxic chemicals and no good for compost bins!!

[@AllotmentFamilyDiary]

Thankyou. We are going to put out a request on our local Facebook for non treated pallets. They used to be everywhere but now not so much! Thanks for the advice.❤ Tilly
