Allotment Diaries Podcast

This year, six enthusiastic gardeners banded together to get into the Christmas spirit and sing their own version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas." 

It may not hit this year's Christmas charts, but it was a lot of fun and a lot of laughs were had. 

A special Christmas Day episode will be released featuring recordings of how the song was organised, produced and how it came together!

Enjoy!

Singers : Chay, Amy, Marc, Jamie, Leanne and Ana.

Allotment Diaries Podcast is a podcast that examines what has worked well and what hasn't worked so well when it comes to having an allotment plot. It seeks to give an honest insight into what owning an allotment plot is actually about. 

After a lengthy break due to life getting in the way, Chay and Amy discuss what they have been up to on their plot, how to overcome the third year' slump,' and what their plans are for 2024.

They also talk about this year's Christmas singalong idea, which will inevitably ruin people's Christmases.

In this episode, Amy and Chay talk to Laura, who lives in Michigan. Despite the time difference, the audio malfunction, and Chay's hangover from Oktoberfest, the episode still manages to discusses the differences in gardening (UK to US), pests, and how much the temperature in Michigan flatulates from summer to winter. 

Laura also tries to see how she does with guessing "English Cockney Slangs" in preparation for any potential future visit to England.

Amy also has some exciting news about her harvest and how she is rescuing her rather underwhelming growing season on this show.
