Welcome back to the Sunflower Allotment Podcast!

It's May, one of our favourite times on the plot. We therefore decided to record an episode walking around Tim's plot. We discuss this seasons progress, the growth and the relevant jobs that need to be done. Peter also gives Tim some great advice on potatoes and the pair discuss plot design, wild fennel , our shared sweetcont plot and the importance of the allotment during lockdown. 

Finally, Peter poses the question, what are the skills and qualities needed on the allotment? An interesting question and we would also love to hear your thoughts. Please do contact us email: [email protected] or through Twitter: @sunflowerpod1
