Tutor: Rachel Moore, print artist
Join Rachel for the twenty-first instalment of her Allotment Diaries series!
Join keen wildlife gardener, allotment grower and resident VVH print maker and artist, Rachel Moore, for the latest instalment in her Allotment Diaries series. Rachel has been working her Kent allotment for 20 years.
Spring is definitely here, and in this episode, Rachel is getting stuck into the growing year. She’s already planted early potatoes and started sowing seeds. Rachel also gives advice on how to use up any old seed packets you might have at home.
This video was recorded in March 2026.
In the Allotment Diaries series, join Rachel throughout the year as she shares tips for growing your own produce, along with the successes and challenges she faces each season. You’ll gain insight into what happens on an allotment, the unusual vegetables she's growing, and the wildlife that visits.
As Rachel says: “Don’t expect pristine produce or immaculately weeded, straight rows of veg!”
