Spot the gooseberry... This will be my first ever gooseberry harvest as I only planted the bush early in spring this year. I read that Hinnonmaki Yellow has a hint of apricot in the flavour - what a treat I have in store! . . 🌱 gooseberry Hinnonmaki Yellow (previously gifted from @thompsonmorgan1855) . . #gooseberry #allotment #organicgardening #eatwhatyougrow #gardenersofinstagram #gardening #gardenblogger #gardenchat #homesteading #smallholding #hobbyfarm #organic #organicfood #realfood #homegrown #growyourown #gardenersworld #urbanorganicgardener #thehappygardeninglife #sustainablesprout #eatlocal #digforvictory #allotmentblog #kitchengarden #moestuin #potager #jardin #allotmenteering #myhappyplace

Head on over to the link in my bio if you'd like to read my latest piece on my big dream in life. 💚 An open diary entry to my future self, and thoughts on that big question, where do you see yourself in ten years time? Just a clue but my vision of success isn't quite conventional.... . . 🌱 broad bean Aquadulce Claudia from @realseeds . . #broadbeans #dreams #gardenersofinstagram #instagardeners #gardening #gardenblogger #gardenchat #homesteading #smallholding #hobbyfarm #organic #realfood #homegrown #growyourown #gardenersworld #urbanorganicgardener #thehappygardeninglife #eatlocal #digforvictory #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentblog #greenfingers #kitchengarden #volkstuin #moestuin #potager #getoutside #allotmenteering #gardengram

After relegating the dahlias and the pumpkins to the cold frame for hardening off, the greenhouse feels fresh and spacious! So later sown plants like these Marketmore cucumbers have space to grow. I also sowed all my brassicas in sunday - it's far later than I wanted to do it, but I just didn't have the space before now. And in reality, any time between March and May is just fine. No need to rush. So my cabbages and sprouts and kale are all just starting their journey. Here's to fresh new beginnings every day, because each day is new and has the whole world to offer. . . 🌱🥒 cucumber Marketmore . . #cucumber #gardenersofinstagram #instagardeners #gardening #gardenblogger #gardenchat #homesteading #smallholding #hobbyfarm #organic #realfood #homegrown #growyourown #gardenersworld #urbanorganicgardener #thehappygardeninglife #eatlocal #digforvictory #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentblog #greenfingers #kitchengarden #volkstuin #moestuin #potager #getoutside #allotmenteering #gardengram

Did you know that today is World Bee Day?? I'm a huge fan of bees, I think they're fascinating. I've already done my beekeeping course and I just know that bees will be one of the first additions when I get my smallholding! I'm also a fan of companies that highlight how important bees are to our ecosystem so I was delighted to be asked to try the April Bee Box from @nectarandbumble (#gifted). They have a monthly subscription box of bee themed goodies and the contents of my box were really lovely! And best of all 10% of the profits are donated to UK bee charities.

Looking forward to heading up to the allotment today. It's been a long week. Time to shove my hands back in the soil and deal with something true and meaningful - and beautiful. There's beauty everywhere at the allotment. From the timid twirling tendrils of the young pea shoots to the fluffy baby birds making their first ungainly attempts at the bird feeder. The peace that comes with the golden hour spent solitary, plugging away at some job or other, always building building building. Adding bit by tiny bit to the dream I've created in my head in a world that's all my own, seeing it appear in real life as if my magic, breathtaking and ordinary and never exactly as I imagined - because who could truly imagine the fiercely beautiful face of nature? She surprises me every year. Every season. Every plot vist. Yes, I think I'll step out into the garden. Time to live. See you later. 💚 . . . #gardenersofinstagram #instagardeners #gardening #gardenblogger #gardenchat #homesteading #smallholding #hobbyfarm #organic #realfood #homegrown #growyourown #gardenersworld #urbanorganicgardener #thehappygardeninglife #eatlocal #digforvictory #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentblog #greenfingers #kitchengarden #volkstuin #moestuin #potager #getoutside #allotmenteering #gardengram

I was more than a bit excited to sow my turnips last week. 💚 It's my first year growing them and I'm hoping that they're going to be an easy and useful crop. I particularly love the little story on the front of the packet - part of the joy of heirloom varieties is the history that comes with them! If you have grown turnips before and have any tips to share, please do share them below. Especially recipes as I've not cooked with them before. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 . . 🌱 Norfolk Purple Top turnip from @realseeds . . #turnip #gardenersofinstagram #instagardeners #gardening #gardenblogger #gardenchat #homesteading #smallholding #hobbyfarm #organic #realfood #homegrown #growyourown #gardenersworld #urbanorganicgardener #thehappygardeninglife #eatlocal #digforvictory #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentblog #greenfingers #kitchengarden #volkstuin #moestuin #potager #getoutside #allotmenteering #gardengram
