    Saturday Spotlight: July To‑Dos on the Allotment
    Jul 26 2025
    Get stuck into your Saturday allotment chores with a clear plan: weeding pathways to give your crops room to breathe, mulching beds to conserve moisture in the July sun, harvesting early ripeners like broad beans and radishes, and sowing late-season salads for a continuous supply. Don’t forget to top up your compost heap, check netting for pests, and give thirsty plants a deep soak before the weekend heat hits.
