I’ve made heavy use of AI to help with my allotment planning – mostly what to plant, where to plant it and how to care for it, etc. I also gave it a copy of my plot layout diagram and asked it to produce a picture based on it – I don’t think it’s done too bad a job!

I also got AI to generate a 3D picture – it’s not accurate, but still quite impressive so thought I’d include it here – it looks much nicer than the real thing if I’m honest, and I’m taking ideas from it for next year!

The picture to the right shows a crude layout of my plot this year.

I struggled with all of the plots this season, and the two larger ones are actually blanked off with anti-weed membrane at the moment in readiness for whatever I decide to do with them next year.

The loganberry and blackberry bushes are doing well though, so I’ll be expanding those.

I’ve quite liked having the raised beds, so I think I’ll be adding more of these – it makes keeping the area tidy easy.

I really like my Dahlias. I’m definitely going to plant more of these, and create a large lavender bed in the bottom left corner.

One thing I spotted in the AI artwork too, was the presence of flowers dotted around the crops – I’ll definitely be doing this next season.
