☀️It’s just gone 10am and I’m at the plot pretty early for me because I have a lot to do today! I’ve got rotted manure to pick up to mulch all my plants before the big 29°C heat wave, bindweed to tame, plants to plant out and a new video to film if I get time! 🎥 It’s going to be a struggle to keep my plants watered over the next few days because I have no running water until the engineers comes to fix the borehole! 😩 It doesn’t take long to empty a water butt in this heat! 😅 . . . . . #allotment #garden #growyourown #vegetablegarden #growwhatyoueat #allotmentlfie #ediblegarddn #kitchengarden #organicgardening #vegetablepatch #gardenerofinstagram #nottingham #homegrowngarden #homegrown #greenthumb #dowhatyoulove
The first flowers on my purple cayenne chilli plants are opening! How sweet are those purple tipped petals? 😍💜 I’m going to have so many of these this year so it’s just as well that I like my food HOT 🔥! I think I’ll end up drying a batch and making my own spice powders for cooking. 👩🏻‍🍳🌶 . . . . #chilliplant #chilliflower #purplecayenne #growyourownfood #ediblegarden #growwhatyoueat #grownfromseed #allotment #gardening #flower #greenthumb #kitchengarden #gardener #homegrown
☀️ Happy Summer Solstice beautiful people of Instagram! I hope you are all enjoying the longest day of the year and are making the most of this warm evening light 💛 I’m spending it planting out my dahlias for summer colour and I’ll also be preparing the strawberries and rhubarb for jamming, to preserve that sweet taste of summer for the rest of the year! . . . . . #imafloppyhatpersonnow #butonlyinthegarden #gardener #growyourownfruit #ediblegarden #growyourown #eatwhatyougrow #harvest #summersolstice #summersolstice2018 #allotment #allotmentgarden #gardenersofinstagram #allotmenteer #allotmentlife #eatfresh
I couldn’t resist buying this cute display ladder from BBC gardeners World Live at the weekend. 💸The removable trays are going to be so useful on the plot where I am forever misplacing my hand tools and twine! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Plus, that pastel green colour is going to match my trug beautifully! 😁💚 Now where did I put my trowel...? 🤔 . . . . . #allotment #forgetfulgardener #growyourown #garden #gardener @bbcgwlive #basil #gardenersofinstagram #ediblegarden #growyourownfood #allotmentlife #greenthumb #gardening #homegrowngarden #dowhatyoulove #organicgardening #sustainablefood #vegetablegarden
Don’t mind me, I’ll just be in the kitchen making rhubarb vodka, rhubarb crumble and rhubarb jam for the next few days! 😂 Have you discovered any new rhubarb recipes this season? 👩🏻‍🌾 #rhubarbglut . . . . #growyourownfood #ediblegarden #growwhatyoueat #rhubarb #allotment #gardener #dowhatyoulove #allotmenteer #homegrowngarden #gardenersofinstagram #harvest #urbangardening #eatfresh #homegrown
Fresh harvest! When it comes to garlic I’ve never really had that much luck, as the bulbs never seem to swell all that much. This year however, I’m feeling pretty pleased with my harvest even though it is a very mixed bag! I have some big ones, small ones, conjoined ones and a couple of tiny ones too but it will all taste and smell the same! 😋😁 #allotmentlife . . . . . #growyourown #ediblegarden #growwhatyoueat #garlic #harvest #allotment #urbangarden #organicgardening #nottingham #gardenersofinstagram #homegrown #homegrowngarden #gyo #eatfresh #mymonthontheplot
It’s taken multiple evenings but all the tomato plants are finally in position inside the polytunnel! 🙌🏻🍅I just need to tidy the other half now and plant out everything else, including the 12+ dahlias. 🌸 Only then can I can pot up the chilli plants! 🙈🌶It’s all systems go! 😅 What’s on your agenda for the new week? . . . . #growyourown #polytunnel #tomatoplants #allotmentlife #ediblegarden #growhatyoueat #eatfresh #vegetablepatch #sustainablesprout #gardenersofinstagram #allotment #epicgardening #dowhatyoulove #gardening #greenthumb #nottingham #gardener #mymonthontheplot
I’ve been thinking of this dreamy peach/blush ‘Chandos Beauty’ rose ever since I first saw it and smelt it’s incredibly sweet fragrance at RHS Chatsworth. I finally treated myself to one at BBC Gardeners’ World Live today! I don’t really grow my own roses but since Rose is my middle name, I thought it was time that I did!🌸🌹 . .

The strawberries are coming! My little harvests are getting bigger by the day now.😁🍓 . . . . . #allotment #gardening #strawberrypatch #gardenersofinstagram #allotmentlife #homegrownfood #gyo #ediblegarden #growwhatyoueat #growyourown #organicgardening #homegrowngarden #girlswhogarden #urbangarden #gramyourgarden #greenfingers #dowhatyoulove #growwhatyoulove #growfoodnotlawns #sustainable #organic #sustainablesprout #nottingham #gardener #eatfresh
Happy Friday! I was busy clearing the polytunnel ready to plant the tomatoes this evening, when I realised that I now have two massive trays of basil 😍 I need to sow more of the purple midnight variety from @suttons_seeds_plants though because you can never have too much basil! 💜Bring on the pesto! 😋What’s your favourite herb to grow? 🌱💚 . . . . #growyourown #basil #herbs #allotment #polytunnel #allotment #growwhatyoueat #grownfromseed #dowhatyoulove #gardenersofinstagram #homegrown #ediblegarden #vegetablegarden #allotmentlife
