S2 E25 - Lifting Parsnips, Potatoes and Blueberries

In this episode, Elaine and Julia find themselves serenaded by the sounds of an 80s and 90s music festival nearby, but they stick to the task at hand—discussing all things allotment. They clarify some points from last week's episode, including what Elaine has been harvesting from her plot. They dive into the mysteries of potatoes, especially those that don't flower, and how to handle shallots that haven't dried back yet.   The conversation shifts to the quirks of growing blueberries, with Julia sharing her success tips and the importance of ericaceous compost. They also touch on the challenges of growing parsnips and the surprising success of chillies in the unpredictable British weather.   If you enjoy the Plotcast and would like to support us to keep going - head to https://ko-fi.com/thepottyplotters   Follow us @pottyplotters on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter   Get in touch: [email protected]   A podcast for help with your allotment or gardening.
