Allotment Chronicles UK

Welcome to AllotmentChroniclesUK. I’m Mike, a silver haired (well, what’s left) UK gardener with wit, wisdom, a dodgy heart and Shadow the cat — growing food, resilience and laughs. Proving GrowYourOwnFood isn’t just for the young and healthy.

This channel is about real life allotment gardening: gentle digging at a sensible pace, low effort gardening with high yield crops, seasonal tips for spring, autumn and beyond, and gardening with health challenges shared with honesty and humour.

Forget perfection — this is gardening done smarter, not harder, with decades of experience and plenty of laughs.

Here you’ll find easy veg like potatoes, courgettes and beans, honest updates from the plot (including Shadow the cat, who insists one greenhouse is hers), plus planting guides, harvest chats, seasonal reflections and life inside four greenhouses.

So grab a cuppa, hit subscribe and join the SilverHairedGardener community — UK allotment gardening one small, sensible step at a time.
