Losing The Plot A place where we share the highs and lows, successes and failures on the journey to self sufficiency. An honest, unfiltered experience.

The allotment is our space to practice and see what works for us before we wave goodbye to the UK to start a homestead.

Well im feeling overly proud this morning. We eat a lot of yoghurt so I figured, let's put it on my DIY food list. I can't believe how easy it was!

Daisy had her first trip to the allotment today while I started the spring tidy up. She was a super star, beautifully behaved and met other plot holders. She wasnt sure about the pond - wait until the frogs appear! im looking forward to sunny evenings on the plot with her keeping me company 🥰 pretty lady

Its 6am, its getting light, the moon is still in the sky, it was beautiful last night. I really do love this time of year and the transition into spring. Each morning a little lighter when I wake and the birds fill the cool morning air with song setting the mood for the day. Joy that costs nothing.
Well. Apart from all the nice feed for said birds!😄

My dogs also love sprooots. They get their share and all the ones with 'a bad bit" cut off.
We enjoyed ours cooked in my homemade chicken bone broth. Delicious!

Flashback to last years sweet peas. They were abundant. Delightfully colourful and dainty yet packing a punch with the sweet smell of candy. Saved all the seeds from these last year so I can enjoy them again and again

I guess it's nearly time to come out of hibernation. Long wet damp cold winter. Urgh. Korean tea is my favourite way to start the day when its grim outside. Sunshine in a mug.
Now I just need ACTUAL sunshine!

I can't remember what these are called, I've had them a bout 9 years. Flower every autumn. But, how fun is this! Poking out of the bottom, a split colour from an all yellow plant. Cute!
