No matter what time of day, no matter what temperature it is outside, it’s always a good time to have a tea break in the shed! But what’s your go-to shed snack? Mine has to be the chocolate topped Hobhob, the ultimate tea dunker! 😋☕️🍫 . . . . . #typicallybritish #tealover #shedlife #allotment #teabreak #allotmentlife #growyourownfood #inmyshed #teastation #mygarden #gardener #british #teadrinker #ediblegarden #homegrowngarden #tea #vegegarden #veggiepatch #gardenersofinstagram #dowhatyoulove #drinktea
This little spot under the apple tree is my new favourite place to sit! Do you remember when it was a sea of stinging nettles last year? I cleared it right back and planted these bulbs in November last autumn and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result! Have you got a favourite spot in your garden?🌸🐜🐝🦋🐸 . . . . . #allotment #mygarden #appletree #daffodils #myhappyplace #springgarden #allotmentlife #growyourown #flowerbed #victoriangardens #girlswhogarden #growyourownflowers #gardenersofinstagram #organicgarden #gardendesign #flora #garden #tulips #springbulbs #forgetmenot #gardening #englishgarden #epicgardening #nottingham #homegrown #dowhatyoulove #flowers
☀️Waking up to sunshine again? Well that was a nice surprise, much like my ‘Cheerfullness’ daffodils that are now in bloom!🙌🏻 I l love the creamy yellow double flowers of these beauties and they have such a sweet scent. ☺️ I should pick a few later this evening but today I’m off to my local farm, because baby goats are awesome. 🐐 . . . . . . #daffodils #cheerfulness #garden #homegrownflowers #allotment #allotmentlife #gardenersofinstagram #growyourown #greenthumb #doubleflower #flower #nature #allotmentgarden #homegrowngarden
What a gorgeous day to be on the plot! Although it typically stared to rain as I filmed my allotment tour video 😂 I hope you enjoyed the end of the heatwave? My April tour video will on your screens within the next few days! I’ll try not to make it as long as the last one! 😬📽 . . . . . #allotmentlife #heatwave #growyourown #ediblegarden #urbangarden #mygardentoday #growwhatyoueat #dowhatyoulove #allotment #garden #gardenersofinstagram #organicgarden #homegrown #homegrowngarden #sustainablesprout #growyourownfood #growwhatyoueat #spring #victoriangarden #nottingham #stannsallotments
Good morning and happy Friday! This week has gone so fast 😮 On top of all the usual jobs I’ll be finishing off path next to the rockery bed (it just needs woodchipping), and clearing the ground for my stepping stone path around the apple tree! It’s probably about time I filmed a new tour video for you all to see what’s been happening on the plot in April too! Have you got anything exciting planned? . . . . #allotment #steppingstones #allotment #garden #growyourown #gardening #gyo #ediblegarden #gardendesign #allotmentlife #gardengirl #hardgraft #urbangarden #drystonewall #nottingham #victoriangarden #nottingham #gardenersofinstagram #organicgardening #sustainablegardening #girlswhogarden #girlswhocan #mygarden #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo
Today marks not only the hottest day in April for 70 years, but more importantly, the first harvest of the year! My rhubarb has put on such crazy growth in the last week that I just couldn’t resist some of those tasty stalks! 😋 . . . . #truglife #rhubarb #allotment #mygardentoday #gardenersofinstagram #allotmentlife #growyourownfood #growwhatyoueat #ediblegarden #victoriangarden #organicgardening #kitchengarden #gyo #dowhatyoulove #growwhatyoueat #springbutfeelslikesummer #appletree #daffodils #greenthumb #sustainablesprout #girlswhogarden #gardening #mygarden #homegrown #homegrowngarden
Sat by the hot fire with a crisp cider at the end of a gorgeous day. More of this please ☀️🍺😌 . . . . . #allotmentlife #enjoythemoment #isitsummernow #incinerator #allotment #garden #chill #gardenersofinstagram #allotmentlove #mygardentoday #homegrowngarden #dowhatyoulove #ediblegarden #fire #urbangardening #vegepatch #gardener #sunnyday
You wouldn’t believe my excitement when I spotted this smooth newt last night. I’ve only ever seen a newt of out the water once before. It was when I was about to lock up my gate for the night when I startled this one. He was pretty chill about it though and sat for long enough for me to get a shot of him before he went out exploring for for slugs. I think he needs a name, what do you reckon? 🤔 I bloody love my micro wildlife pond! 🦎🐸💦I still need to write that blog post about it...😅 . . . . #allotment #gardenpond #pond #wildlifepond #mywildlifepond #allotment #garden #organicgardening #wildlifegarden #nature #ecofriend #wildlife #pond #greenspace #habitat #environment #givenatureahome #organic #amphibians #gardenersofinstagram #greenfingers #sustainable #allotmentlife #landgirl #pondlife #belfastsink #newt #smoothnewt @nottinghamshirewildlife @thewildlifetrusts
The days are longer and everything is bursting to life on the plot! 😍I’m looking forward to a productive week and making the most of the good weather to get jobs done after work. ☀️ I’m catching up on my sowings this evening in the polytunnel! 👩🏻‍🌾🌱 . . . . . #allotment #appletree #mygardentoday #allotmentlife #growyourownfood #dowhatyoulove #gardener #vegetablegarden #homegrowngarden #ediblegarden #urbangarden #sustainablegardening #organicgarden #nottingham #greenthumb #spring #daffodils #epicgardening #vegegarden #mymonthontheplot #growwhatyoueat
PEAS 💚 I soaked my pea seeds (for two days accidentally, oops) prior to sowing to help give them a head start. I’m growing three varieties this year. New for @suttons_seeds_plants is the gorgeous purple podded Blauwschokker that strangely has an orange seed! 🤔 Then there’s @mrfothergills’ Petit Pois and some sugar snap from Premier Seeds. You just can’t beat the sweet taste of fresh peas straight from the pod! What peas are you growing? 🌱😋 . . . . . #seeds #peas #growyourownfood #allotmentlife #growwhatyoueat #dowhatyoulove #eatgreen #gardener #sustainablesprout #allotment #seedsowing #gardening #gardenersofinstagram #organicgardening #ediblegarden #vegegarden #greenthumb #organic #sustainablegardening
