It's nearly time for tomatoes! Have you been lucky enough to harvest any homegrown tomatoes yet this year? 🍅 . . . #allotment #allotmentlife #ediblegarden #eatwhatyougrow #kitchengarden #moestuin #mygarden #gardener #gyo #veggiepatch #hydrovegan #urbanfarming #organicgarden #growyourownfood #harvest #homegrown #happygardeninglife #lovegardening #tomato #instagarden
It's been another gorgeous day and I've spent an idyllic afternoon exploring the open gardens in the lovely village of Barrow upon Soar. Some absolutely gorgeous gardens packed full of ideas and inspiration. One in particular was extremely close to my aspirational dream cottage garden. Hope that you've all have had a wonderful weekend enjoying the weather. . . . #gardening #gardener #gardens #nature #flowers #flowerstergram #happygardeninglife #bliss #opengardens #greenthumb #weekend #gardengoals #inspiration #cottagegarden #exploring #lovegardening #beautifulgarden
There's always something to harvest at the allotment at this time of year. All of the digging, preparation, seed sowing and planting out in Spring is rewarded with amazing homegrown produce throughout the Summer.😊 . . . #allotment #allotmentlife #kitchengarden #ediblegarden #eatwhatyougrow #urbanfarming #instagarden #mygarden #homegrown #harvest #organicgarden #happygardeninglife #gardenersofinstagram #summer #currentview #nature #happyplace #bliss #outdoors #mygarden #hydrovegan #greenthumb #growsomethinggreen #gyo #moestuin #veggiepatch
I bravely entered the dragon's lair, fought the fearsome beast and was rewarded with bountiful treasures. Or I just popped out to the greenhouse for a cucumber... 🐲 . . . Anyway, I was excited to harvest my first ever Dragon's Egg cucumber yesterday. This is a heritage variety from Croatia, it produces cream coloured fruits which look like eggs as they grow on the vines. I was very impressed with one I harvested, it had a mild cucumber flavour and was slightly sweet. Definitely looking forward to more Dragon's Eggs! . . . #homegrown #harvest #organicgarden #happygardeninglife #gardenersofinstagram #allotment #allotmentlife #kitchengarden #ediblegarden #eatwhatyougrow #urbanfarming #instagarden #cucumber #mygarden #growfoodnotlawns #gardening #growyourown #gyo #moestuin #veggiepatch #hydrovegan #greenthumb
It's been another absolutely gorgeous day at the allotment and I've got plenty accomplished. Everything has had a good weed, I've sorted my compost bins and most importantly I've simply enjoyed being outdoors. It's such a pleasure to spend time at the allotment and any harvest really is a delightful bonus. 😊 . . . #allotment #allotmentlife #kitchengarden #ediblegarden #eatwhatyougrow #urbanfarming #instagarden #homegrown #harvest #organicgarden #happygardeninglife #gardenersofinstagram #summer #currentview #nature #happyplace #bliss #outdoors #mygarden #growfoodnotlawns #gardening #growyourown #gyo #moestuin #veggiepatch
I harvested my first beetroot of the year this week and it was absolutely delicious! The variety is Mulatka from Real Seeds which originates from Kazakhstan and has a lovely sweet earthy flavour. . . . #allotment #allotmentlife #kitchengarden #ediblegarden #eatwhatyougrow #urbanfarming #instagarden #homegrown #harvest #organicgarden #happygardeninglife #gardenersofinstagram #instagarden #mygarden #growfoodnotlawns #gardening #growyourown #gyo #moestuin #veggiepatch #beetroot #hydrovegan #greenthumb #growsomethinggreen
