Compared to last year, my tomatoes seem so far behind as my seedlings have only just got their first true leaves. Hopefully some more gorgeous days like yesterday will do them some good! . . . #allotment #allotmentlife #kitchengarden #ediblegarden #eatwhatyougrow #urbanfarming #instagarden #mygarden #growfoodnotlawns #gardening #growyourown #gyo #moestuin #growsomething #veggiepatch #hydrovegan #tomatoes #seedsnow #tomato #spring #growyourownfood #ediblegarden #eatwhatyougro
I sowed my Achocha seeds today, this is an unusual cucurbit originating from the Andes. It will thrive grown outside in the UK and will produce an abundance of small green fruits. When cooked, these fruits taste exactly like green peppers. There's a mini-guide to growing Achocha in my saved Instagram stories, so check it out if you are interested in this easy to grow unusual vegetable. If you've grown Achocha before, what did you think if it? . . . #allotment #allotmentlife #kitchengarden #ediblegarden #eatwhatyougrow #urbanfarming #instagarden #mygarden #growfoodnotlawns #gardening #growyourown #gyo #moestuin #growsomethinggreen #veggiepatch #hydrovegan #greenthumb #homegrown #harvest #organicgarden #happygardeninglife #gardenersofinstagram #achocha #seedsnow
It's finally starting to feel like Spring and the greenhouse is absolutely crammed with seedlings. These are Nero de Toscana kale seedlings which is a wonderful variety with large crinkley dark green leaves. I'm still harvesting kale from last year's plants so it truly is a nearly all year crop! . . . #allotment #allotmentlife #kitchengarden #ediblegarden #eatwhatyougrow #urbanfarming #instagarden #mygarden #growfoodnotlawns #gardening #growyourown #gyo #moestuin #veggiepatch #hydrovegan #greenthumb #growsomethinggreen #homegrown #harvest #seedsnow #organicgarden #happygardeninglife #gardenersofinstagram #spring
There are plenty of flowers forming on my Honeyberry bushes which hopefully means there will be lots of berries to harvest. Honeyberries are very similar in appearance and taste to Blueberries. However, they're generally easier to grow as they don't need acidic soil and are incredibly cold tolerant. . . . #allotment #allotmentlife #kitchengarden #ediblegarden #eatwhatyougrow #urbanfarming #instagarden #mygarden #growfoodnotlawns #gardening #growyourown #gyo #moestuin #veggiepatch #hydrovegan #greenthumb #homegrown #harvest #spring #growyourownfood #epicgarden #happygardeninglife #gardenersofinstagram
Let's get ready to cruuuuumble! Yesterday was a very special day as it was the first rhubarb harvest of the year at allotment! . . . #allotment #allotmentlife #kitchengarden #ediblegarden #eatwhatyougrow #urbanfarming #instagarden #mygarden #growfoodnotlawns #gardening #growyourown #gyo #moestuin #veggiepatch #hydrovegan #greenthumb #growsomethinggreen #homegrown #harvest #organicgarden #happygardeninglife #gardenersofinstagram #spring #rhubarb
It was such a warm day yesterday and great to be outside in the garden. After starting to look a little leggy, I hope that my tomato seedlings appreciated some proper sun in the greenhouse! Hoping for some more warm and dry weather today. 🤞 . . . #allotment #allotmentlife #kitchengarden #ediblegarden #eatwhatyougrow #urbanfarming #instagarden #mygarden #growfoodnotlawns #gardening #growyourown #gyo #moestuin #veggiepatch #hydrovegan #greenthumb #organicgardening #garden #seeds #homegrown #harvest #tomato #happygardeninglife #gardenersofinstagram #spring
