A few chillies harvested down the allotment today…

Habaneros, scotch bonnets and a few jalapeños. Time to make another sauce! 🌶️

Looks like we've got a solution! Hoping to be live in the next 48 hours 😀

I've got a workaround for this. I'll pop you a link once the tool is live!

Bad neighbours are indeed factored in, and 'walls' between them are also considered. Thanks very much for the feedback Kim, I'll pop you a link for you to try it once it's live!

That’s certainly a difficult one to work on. Let me see what I can do!

Hi Kim, thanks for the comments. When you say existing structure, do you mean things like sheds, polytunnels and greenhouses? With regards to adding perennials/previous years plants, the tool will factor that in by not assuming everything is a 'new' plant.

Great suggestions Nick, thank you! I’ll get those added!

I'm working on a tool to help allotment/homestead holders plan out their plots with drag and drop ability to set up your beds + ponds etc and add your crops to them.

What are some handy features you'd like to see in a tool like this?

A bit of DIY down the plot today…

Onions officially protected from the local wildlife! These have been replanted about 10 times since they went in so hopefully this will deal with that!

We have a pond at our allotment, but it’s not looking its best. Should we empty it, or is there another way to get the water clearer to dig out all the bits at the bottom?

Chilli’s all set up… Naga Ghost coming in at 1,000,000 SHU so that should liven up some meals!
