Welcome to a water-logged Allotment update! It's not a fun time to be on the plot, but it is a fabulous time to get plotting. So put the kettle on and settle down to get inspired on this year's growing.

In this 'Meet The Maker' post, we hear from Nathalie, founder of Pow Pots, our collection of unique hand-painted concrete and fibreclay planters loudly & proudly displayed in our shop window.

It barely seems like five minutes since I wrote the summer update from the allotment, but it's well into autumn and there's plenty still going on down on the plot. We've got carrots ready to pull, sprouts developing for winter Sunday roasts and Purple Sprouting broccoli for harvesting next spring. And the dahlias are putting on one last epic show!
