Neville plants Parsnips in the Sun
We’ve recently done a bit of refurb on the Wonderpost allotment, it was looking very rundown and unloved, adding new surrounds and fencing to keep those pesky chickens away.
The Sun started shining earlier in the week, and Neville, freshly woken from hibernation, decided to plant some Parsnips. Luckily the sun was shining, or we’d have to have changed the title of this post and double lucky that Neville was in full verbose mode as you can see in the video below.
Here’s Neville giving his all in a post-hibernation video about planting Parsnips.

Waiting for Spring in Suffolk
Like most gardeners, I yearn for the warmer Spring weather as this is a time when we can start to get productive in the garden or the allotment. Perhaps though I am a fair-weather gardener because really there should be no excuse for not working on the allotment even in the depths of the winter as there is always something to do. Tasks such as digging are great to do in the winter as this is vital prep for Spring seed sowing. So, if you haven’t got out into your veg patch yet, now is the time to dig it over. Don’t forget though to spread a good layer of Wonderpost on the ground and as you turn over the soil with your spade you will be incorporate valuable organic matter into your veg patch, a process that will give your veg a super-powered growing environment this year.
