🍓Sneaky little Strawbs🍓 So my kids are eagle eyed when it comes to finding any ripe and ready to eat strawberries. I've actually had a fairly low yield from all of my strawberries this year and the ones that do make it to be ripe enough to eat get snaffled up by my boys. So this one I'm saving for myself......... and my morning porridge.🥣 #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiary #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown
The garden is feeling a little empty at the moment. Fingers crossed the winter salad garden starts to show itself soon.

😊 Isn’t the allotment community so lovely? 🪴 One of my plot buddies gave me these 2 blackcurrant bushes. I can’t call him a plot neighbour as his plot is on the opposite side of the allotments to mine! But still. ☺️ He asked me last autumn if I wanted them and I said I didn’t have anywhere to put them. Fully expecting him to pass them into someone else, but he held on to them for me until I had somewhere to make them a home! 💕 Any idea what I can make out of black currants, other than jam! 😆 . . . . . . #allotment #allotmentuk #allotmentlife #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentgarden #gardenersofinstagram #gardeningmumsclub #allotmentgarden #gardeningmakesmehappy #allotmentlife🌱 #vegetablegardensofinstagram #vegpatch #vegetablegarden #gardeningcommunity #gardenersunite #plottingalong #growalonggang #thehappygardeninglife #pottingshed #gardenfolkfriends #bristolgardener #greenhousegardening #allotmentblog #allotmentlifeuk #homesteadlife #homesteader #homemadejam #stayathomemomlife #homesteaders #homemadewithlove #homemadefromscratch
A Sunday well spent 💚 3 hours at the allotment, planting 4 more rows of potatoes, planting out some of my flower babies, weeding, adding manure to the asparagus bed, and putting chicken wire over the double arch. Ash surprised me with a visit (and choc ices!). Then bowling with Ash, and dinner at @lasiguanas - my cup has been filled 🥰 Happy Sunday eve all 💚 #gardenfolkfriends #plottingalong #mymonthontheplot #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentlove #allotmentgarden #allotmentuk #allotments #allotmentsofinstagram #allotmenteering #allotmentblog #allotmentsuk #ukallotment #allotmentgardening #myallotment #allotmentideas #allotmenting #allotmentflowers #allotmentdiary #allotmentshed #organicallotment #gardenallotment #allotmentgrown #allotmentplot #allotmentgirl #allotmentveg #allotmentfood #allotmentproduce #allotmentfun
Step 1: get that soil nice and damp [with the help of my son] Step 2: get those tiny seeds in the ground Step 3: practice some companion planting [apparently carrots and garlic grow pretty well together] We haven't grown carrots for a while, but it felt like we have enough space this summer. Let's see how they get on 🤞 Happy gorgeous sunny Sunday [in the UK] all! • • • • • #allotment #allotmentuk #allotmentlife #allotmentgarden #allotmentsofinstagram #allotmentideas #allotmentblog #allotmentblogger #allotmentdiary #allotmentplanning2024 #allotmentplot #allotmentcommunity #allotmenteers #allotmentproject #gardening #gardeninspiration #gardeninglife #gardeningtips #gardeningideas #growingfood #growingvegetables #vegetablesgarden #organic #gardentime #gardentotable #artistgardener #mothergardener #plantingideas #greenfingers
We haven’t been able to get much more done at the allotment this week. Just a little watering and checking in on the greenhouse. However we were lucky enough to capture those amazing northern lights above our beautiful home tree 💜🎆🌳 #allotmentlife #allotment #allotmentgarden #allotmentlove #allotmentsofinstagram #allotmentnewbies #allotmentblog #allotmentdiary #northenlights #beautiful #beautifulsky
Popped to the lottie and gave the grass a little hair cut ✂️ My elephant garlic have scapes so I’ve cut them off and will use them in my salads 🤤 The cherry tree I only planted last year has got some cherries growing 😍🍒🌸 Looks like we may have an abundance of apples this year too as both my apple trees have fruits growing 🍎🍏 The peas are loving this weather so I’ve given them a good drink 💦 My black magic sunflowers are just starting to pop up 🌻🖤🌻..: hopefully I’ll be matchy matchy with my tattoo when it’s coloured in next month 🥰 #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentgarden #allotmentlove #allotmentuk #allotmentsofinstagram #allotmentshed #allotmentblog #allotmentlife🌱 #allotmentdiary #allotmentplot

Yesterday’s plot day couldn’t have filled me with anymore joy…Sunshine ✅ Friends ✅ BBQ ✅ Tackling the 2 do list ✅ although heatstroke last night ❌ 🤮 Built the bean cage which I’ve named Nicholas Cage (just cuz, I mean what doesn’t sound better than saying “oh, just off to get my beans from Nicholas Cage” 😂) I’ve seen this method floating around on the old Pin-te-rest and I’m quite a dab hand with canes and cable ties 😜 If this works then instead of the beans all congregating on the inside (as normal caning methods), they should all hopefully be hanging on the outside 🤞🤞 Watch this space! 🫛 🫛 🫛 🫛 🫛 #runnerbeans #beansbeansbeans #beans #runnerbeansclub #beanganza #allotmentlove #plotdays #girlswhogarden #growyourownhappiness #growyourownveggies #plotlife #allotmentblog #allotmentlife
🎶It's time to say goodbye🎶 Well, that's a bit dramatic...... I've finally cleared all of the remaining broad beans by cutting them down to soil level... I also pulled the remaining summer lettuce and "rehomed" a ton of caterpillars and slugs, to make way for a bed full of spinach, winter lettuce, kale, radish, beets, carrots, chard and anything else I decide to chuck in once I get he sees box out. #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiary #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown

The tomatoes have moved in. Good clean out of the tunnel. Next job is to get some bark chipping around the pots and some paving stones on the outside. That should then be it set for the summer.

THIS DOG! You wouldn’t believe how much more comfortable and happy she is since moving. She barely used her toys, never played outside, never played fetch. The list goes on! We started to think she had been put in the wrong body and was secretly a snoozy cat haha! Flash forward to the new house, she has a garden now and lots more space. The landing is now a doggy’s dream bed area and she’s constantly face first in her toy basket! She plays on the landing and has zoomies downstairs every day. She’s becoming much more independent and even though we are sat in the living room watching something (my back has gone I’m in absolute agony. Some of the worst pain I have experienced and i don’t know what’s caused it, hoping a few more rest days will help - not feeling optimistic though! Worst timing I just want to be getting my allotment area ready! I have the help of some very good people so I’m well cared for and so are my plants!) she is outside sunbathing on her own. She’s a very anxious dog, we are with her 24 hours a day and she was born in covid so she’s very wary in public. I’m so happy she’s happy though! Everything feels right here, it was the best decision to move here! Hope your all having a lovely day! Did anyone watch the Eurovision yesterday? Nemo done amazingly well, they are the first non-binery person to win and I am ecstatic as they really deserved it! Plus we won £40 on a bet that he would win so that’s a saucy bonus! Going to put it towards a fence for my allotment! #dachshund #daxie #miniaturedachshund #dog #doglover #dogsunbathing #pup #pupachino #garden #allotment #allotmentlife #sun #cute #cutie #allotmentlove #allotmentgarden #allotmentgardening #gardenblogger #gardenblog #allotmentblog #allotmentuk
🔥Basket of Fire🔥 These are doing surprisingly well considering I had to replant all my seedlings at the start of the season due to my own incompetence...... Basically I cooked my seedlings by leaving them under my new grow light that was placed entirely way too close..... I even melted a few of my cloches.... So bonus points for that one... I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do with these, as the name suggests I think they are going to be a wee bit on the spicy side..... I might sweet pickle them and make them into shelf stable sauce! Anyone have any suggestions on what to do with them? #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiary #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown
Happy Monday!!! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend in the garden....... I managed to get some sorting, pruning and potting up done this weekend in the green house... Unfortunately I discovered that most of my peppers and aubergine have aphids.... Fingers crossed I can get a handle on it and save my plants from total distraction!

Cherry tomatoes in the morning sun ☀️ My two varieties if cherry tomato are still producing a ton of fruit and I'm now having to do a bit of harvesting every day to keep on top it. But, honestly I think this will be the last year I grow them unless I suddenly get a polytunnel. Being indeterminate varieties means they grow like crazy and I'm simply running out of space for them to safely grow. So next year it's into the dwarf varieties we go....... 🍅 #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiarym #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown
Full bed of parsnips sown and covered with fresh compost. Weeded several beds. Created a little BBQ space. Put the hanging baskets up. Planted some of the flower babies out. I'm ruddy shattered, but excited to do more of the same tomorrow 🥰 Now it's time for a soak in the tub and a Chinese takeaway 😋 (Also, mani is still in tact 💅) #gardenfolkfriends #plottingalong #mymonthontheplot #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentlove #allotmentgarden #allotmentuk #allotments #allotmentsofinstagram #allotmenteering #allotmentblog #allotmentsuk #ukallotment #allotmentgardening #myallotment #allotmentideas #allotmenting #allotmentflowers #allotmentdiary #allotmentshed #organicallotment #gardenallotment #allotmentgrown #allotmentplot #allotmentgirl #allotmentveg #allotmentfood #allotmentproduce #allotmentfun
Yellow courgettes have gone into one of our no-dig beds. I've put lots of mulch on it, which is definitely preventing the soil from drying out.

Woke up this morning bright and early to enjoy my morning coffee in the allotment garden while my kids slept........ And noticed that the mornings are already starting to feel a little autumnal. I'm absolutely not ok with this...... I love autumn but not in August.....

It's been a very very strange season for my strawberries...... They are only just starting to produce despite being planted out in early spring... I had high hopes for bumper crops this year but they just haven't wanted to play ball. Finger's crossed they start to produce enough for me to put a few jars up for winter. Anyone else had a funny season with strawberries? #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiary #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown

My little plot helper has been poorly this last few days. 🙁 Maybe the sudden change in weather has played a part in it, or mostly likely a bug she picked up from nursery. Who knows.

This year I grew 2 varieties of yellow Courgette, Soleil and Atena. The Soleil have flourished and produced bumper crops.... The Atena, have produced almost nothing. With a large majority of plants only producing male flower and very very few female flowers. I understand that the make flowers are also super tasty but they aren't something I can use and preserve for enjoying over the winter.... I think next year I'm only going to sow a few of the Soleil and give the Atena a miss....... #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiary #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown
Not everyone travels the same path when it comes to Homesteads. I most definitely do not.... my decisions are dictated by how much time and effort is required. Raising kids and animals, working, managing a homestead and household are incredibly time consuming and there are just somethings I can't subscribe to.... yet I would love to bake sourdough daily, but the rate my kids consume bread I'd need to start a production line and I'd never be out or a pinny. So it's store bought or machine loaf for us! Living in the north west UK doesn't make it possible to wash and line dry everything, plus I hate laundry at the best of times I'm sure I'd hate it even more if I had to hand wash and dry everything... including white school shirts... 😱 Cows milk and cows milk products are off the card in our house..... 3 out of 4 members of the family are highly allergic so... it's plant based milks and cheese all the way. If I grew everything on our property I would have to cover every single square inch of space with food..... I am however a massive fan in surplus food boxes and hugely discounted fresh produce..... it all gets processed and stored long term so for me it's a better option. Trends will come and trends will go! I have always marched to the beat of my own drum when it comes to my style, tastes and fashion sense..... I'll take my own crazy ideas over anyone's anyday of the week 🤪 One day my lifestyle will shift again, when my babies are grown and I have more time on my hands but for now I will continue to live this way until that time comes. #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiarym #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown BH

Spent 2 hours at the Allotment did such a good job I pulled and dug out the grass and planted in Courgettes 😁🌿 #gardening #allotmentlife #allotmentblog #weeding #cutflowerallotment #vegetableallotment
Did I just block a road off to stop traffic so a family of ducks could cross the road safely on my way back from @cece_studio_ ? Yes.

Might be time to fill these empty spaces with some quick growing mid season staples.... I'm thinking radish, some determinate fast growing tomatoes or maybe some quick bush beans.... Gotta squeeze every last bit out of this little garden of mine! #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiary #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown
Eat your heart out Jack........ The first of the broad bean spoils. I planted my beans out late this year in a hope I could possibly extend the growing season slightly. I will start harvesting some of my beans over the next few days and hopefully will have them all picked by the end of the month. Really looking forward to what I can create with these. #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiary #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown
The garden is starting to slowing pay dividends... This is the first harvest of the season so far. Everything is taking slightly longer then I would of liked but I'm not really surprised with the crazy changes in weather we're having in the north. Fingers crossed everything else starts to ripen soon. #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiary #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown
🥕Thin to Win! 🥕 Want those jaw-dropping, garden-to-table beauties? It's all about the thinning game, folks! Thinning carrots might seem counterintuitive, but trust me, it's the secret to bigger, bolder, and more delicious harvests! By giving each carrot the space it craves, we're gifting them the opportunity to spread their roots, soak up the nutrients, and reach their full potential! It's like a growth booster shot for your garden! So, don't be shy! Get those hands dirty, and carefully thin out those carrot seedlings. Your remaining carrots will thank you later with their incredible size and flavor! #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiary #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown

🍓Sneaky little Strawbs🍓 So my kids are eagle eyed when it comes to finding any ripe and ready to eat strawberries. I've actually had a fairly low yield from all of my strawberries this year and the ones that do make it to be ripe enough to eat get snaffled up by my boys. So this one I'm saving for myself......... and my morning porridge.🥣 #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiary #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown
Aubergine progress. 3 seedlings have popped through - 3 more than expected! First time trying to grow aubergine and it wasn’t looking too hopeful for a while there. Fingers crossed that they keep on going, we’ll have to wait and see. #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentuk #allotmentlove #allotmentgarden #allotmentsofinstagram #gardenersunited #growyourownveg #organicgardening #sustainablefood #allotmentcommunity #homegrownfood #vegancommunity #vegetablegardening #allotmentdiary #allotmentshed #allotmentnortheast #allotmentplot #allotmentadventures #allotmentblog #gardeningtips #sustainablefuture #polytunnellife #allotmentfood #organicgardener #organicvegetables #organicgrowing #raisedbeds #allotmentplanning #growingaubergines

It's officially seed saving season. I decided after this coriander started to bolt earlier in the season I would just leave it in place and let it do its thing. I did manage to get some good size harvests off it before the weather simply got to warm and it inevitably bolted. Not long until these are ready to harvest and I can save some seed for next year and dry and grind the rest to use throughout the cold months. Did you grow coriander this season? #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiarym #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown

It turns out that, yes, I DID really need them 😂😂 Bad influences on here sending me direct messages to say YES are to blame 😂🙈 My bad behaviour was rewarded by the sight of a lovely hedgehog! 🦔 #gardenfolkfriends #plottingalong #mymonthontheplot #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentlove #allotmentgarden #allotmentuk #allotments #allotmentsofinstagram #allotmenteering #allotmentblog #allotmentsuk #ukallotment #allotmentgardening #myallotment #allotmentideas #allotmenting #allotmentflowers #allotmentdiary #allotmentshed #organicallotment #gardenallotment #allotmentgrown #allotmentplot #allotmentgirl #allotmentveg #allotmentfood #allotmentproduce #allotmentfun
❓Anyone grown tomatoes outside? How did it go? 🍅 Finally potted on my tomatoes. They’d been waiting a while and they probably should have gone into bigger pots that I had, but I used what I had available. I’ve only sown 1 type again this year, Roma! Too scared to attempt more varieties, despite having several in my seed store! 😫 I’ve had such rubbish luck with tomatoes the last 3 years I’ve tried to grow them. So much so that I’ve decided to try growing them outdoors this year, instead of a greenhouse where they always seem to get hit with blight and rot! Have you grown tomatoes outside? Were they a fail or a success? . . . . . . #allotmentuk #mygardentoday #allotmentlove #allotmentgarden #gardenersofinstagram #gardeningmumsclub #allotmentgarden #gardeningmakesmehappy #vegetablegardensofinstagram #allotmentlife🌱 #vegetablegarden #gardeningcommunity #gardenersunite #thehappygardeninglife #gardeningmumsclub #vegpatch #pottingshed #gardenfolkfriends #nodiggardening #greenhousegardening #allotmentblog #bristolgardener #growtoeat #allotmeneteering #allotmentlifeuk #tomatoes #tomatoes🍅 #homegrowntomatoes #growingtomatoes #freshtomatoes #growtomatoes #growyourowntomatoes

Few sprouts in, more tomatoes potted up and my weed membrane path between the asparagus finished 😎 Another few hours spent at the plot today and yet again I went with ideas of doing one thing and did another 😂 Got some wood for the first few raised beds and 9 more bags of compost 🤪 Felt good to get the wood lay out so I can see what I’ll be working with, hopefully next time I’m down the first beds will be made. Need to start saving cardboard because these beds will be no dig beds, that’s to try help with my bindweed frustration in the two dig beds 🤪 #allotment #allotmentjourney #allotmentlife #allotmentproduce #allotmentprogress #allotmentprojects #allotmentuk #allotmentgarden #allotmentsofinstagram #allotmentblog #asparagusseason #sprouts #asparagusfern
First time growing ranunculus... at what point should I plant them out? Not gonna lie, found a bag of them I didn't know I had and just checked them in a tray of compost, watering occasionally 😂 so I think they've done well with minimal effort on my part 🙈 #gardenfolkfriends #plottingalong #mymonthontheplot #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentlove #allotmentgarden #allotmentuk #allotments #allotmentsofinstagram #allotmenteering #allotmentblog #allotmentsuk #ukallotment #allotmentgardening #myallotment #allotmentideas #allotmenting #allotmentflowers #allotmentdiary #allotmentshed #organicallotment #gardenallotment #allotmentgrown #allotmentplot #allotmentgirl #allotmentveg #allotmentfood #allotmentproduce #allotmentfun
A other great afternoon on the allotment plot yesterday and my Angelica is looking impressive in my Flowerbed.

The beauty of Howgates Wonder apple blossom 🌸 This hardy variety, good for organic growing, is still young but produces a few enormous, gravity defying, delicious cooking apples for us each year. Use as a cooking apple in Autumn, they sweeten in storage to use as an eating apple after Xmas - that is, if there’s any left 😉 .
Happy Monday!!! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend in the garden....... I managed to get some sorting, pruning and potting up done this weekend in the green house... Unfortunately I discovered that most of my peppers and aubergine have aphids.... Fingers crossed I can get a handle on it and save my plants from total distraction! Hope you have a great week! #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiary #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown
This year I grew 2 varieties of yellow Courgette, Soleil and Atena. The Soleil have flourished and produced bumper crops.... The Atena, have produced almost nothing. With a large majority of plants only producing male flower and very very few female flowers. I understand that the make flowers are also super tasty but they aren't something I can use and preserve for enjoying over the winter.... I think next year I'm only going to sow a few of the Soleil and give the Atena a miss....... #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiary #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown
Starting your own food garden can be overwhelming, there is so much information out there with tips, tricks and advice, that getting started can feel like you are about to tackle Mount Everest. But, I promise you it doesn't have to be so daunting. My biggest advice to someone starting out is to research where you live. Find out your growing zone, look at your first and last frost dates online and then build from there. Grow based on the plants that work best in your growing zone. If like me you live in a cold zone then lean into growing more cold hardy crops. Find a handful of crops that work for the environment you live in and research everything you can about the plant. Find out everything, from it's best growing conditions, to what pests and predators to look out for and how to get rid of them if you come up against them. Work with the environment you live in and growing will feel much less daunting. Happy growing... #themuminthenorth #allotmentuk #allotmentstory #vegplot #allotmentdiarym #allotment #vegetablegardener #allotmentsofinstagram #vegetablegarden #allotmentblog #vegpatch #allotnentinsta #kitchengarden #growyourown #kitchengardening #ukhomestead #ukhomsteader #growalonggang #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #organicveggies #gyo #ukallotment #fromgardentotable #veggielover #gardenuk #veggies #eatseasonally #ukhomegrown
