Time out?
Hello grapes, I hope you're all well.
As the sun is tentatively poking out from between the April clouds, here at GYO towers, we're beginning to think of the summer holidays!
How do you manage taking time away from the vegetable plot? Do you have some trusted friends and neighbours who keep an eye on things if you get some time to go away?
Do you arrange holidays and trips for a different time of year to make sure the summer months are as productive as possible?
Have you had some particularly good/bad experiences entrusting the plot to others?
Your comments may be edited and printed in the July issue of GYO

but try to manage my plot /sowings etc around when I'm planning on going away. I can get a friend to water in emergencies but I prefer not to put on people and it's easier to plan when you're going to be away and work things accordingly. I don't grow much in pots which certainly helps and have rigged up autowatering systems off water butts in both the polytunnel and greenhouse which cope well with a couple of week's absence.
