Listen here to learn about seasonal hints and tips for your allotment or garden from us at Ashbourne Road and District Allotments Derby. We can be a tad outrageous, rude and even a bit naughty, but growing your own flowers, fruit and vegetables from seed should be fun and definitely memorable! We will teach you all you want (and need to know) coming directly from off the plot including chitting and as well as chatting to other unsuspecting folk from around site and beyond. The Plotcast is an Amberland Media production.

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.

Customer Reviews
Digging with kids
Just wanted to say I LOVE listening to the 3 of you on my way to work. I’m slowly making my way through old episodes as I am up to date! Your mix of fantastic knowledge, humour and a sprinkle of saucy innuendos really puts a smile on my face for the day ahead 😁! Love you all!!
A friendly chat
Charismatic hosts and well explained, down-to-earth advice that avoids the common trap of being too beginner/basic for most gardeners. Feels so friendly it’s like you’re on the plot joining in the conversation yourself :)
Great mix of knowledge and entertainment
A real depth of knowledge and so down to earth. I’ve learned so much and their style is really engaging.
