Briefly stopped by the allotment this morning and spotted a twin spider web strung with raindrops across the gate railings. At 8°C the chill made each bead stand out, a small reminder of how sharp the morning can be this time of year. #allotment 🕸️🕷️ྀི

Developers pushing ahead without basic wildlife checks is absurd. And when ministers spend more time with builders than conservation experts, the risk grows. We can build new homes, but not by wrecking the habitats that keep our countryside alive. #britishwildlife #uk

Greenhouse scrubbed, soil replaced with well-rotted manure, compost and topsoil. Bubble wrap added to insulate and keep cuttings warm. Early seeding starts in January. The 2026 kitchen garden is already in motion. #GreenHeart 💚

Deana gives my Spicy ketchup a try, pairs it with duck fat fries and her photo renders it all perfectly. Thank you @goodfood.kitchen
Just bottled a batch of Meeta's spicy ketchup, after her prompt to put my San Marzanos to good use. Paired it with duck fat fries for a crisp, golden match. Warm heat, not a burn. Pleased with how the shot turned out too; the sauce glows like late summer. #KitchenGarden 🍜🍽️ 🌶️

The race to launch AI apps is moving faster than any real quality control. In the rush to be first, safety and oversight are being ignored and people are getting hurt. When a chatbot can push a child toward suicide, that’s not innovation, it’s negligence.

Just wrapped the shoot for Meeta’s @meetakwolff.bsky.social Spicy Ketchup. Couldn’t resist testing it properly with a batch of homemade duck fat fries before starting on the edits. Crisp, rich, and that ketchup’s got just the right kick.

A year ago this soil was spent. I've worked in compost made from seaweed, chicken and cow manure, oak leaves and bracken. Now it’s rich, organic and full of life. It’s taken time, but it’s ready. Looking forward to planting into it next spring. #homestead 🚜🌾👨‍🌾🌿

Spent the weekend building a new fence and gate for the kitchen garden allotment - bit of help from friends, an old goat pen gate and salvaged wood. Soaked to the skin by the end, but a rainbow turned up as if to say - well done. Quite pleased with it. #KitchenGarden 👩‍🍳🍃 ‧₊˚🌈

RIP Jane Goodall. Here she is with another incredible conservationist and humanitarian, David Attenborough. Times like this make you wish the world had a few more Janes and Davids.

Allotment’s come a long way. Soil’s had a full organic rethink - lush, fertile, thriving. Evening sunset put on a show: orange and blue under a ceiling of cloud. Hard to believe it’s getting darker already and summer’s drawing in. #timetogohome

Blueberries settled, raspberry trellises built and the berry bed finally complete. Summer fruiting canes are set to climb, while the ground is readied for autumn and winter tasks. A season’s work now shaping next year’s harvest. #allotment #growyourown

A bumblebee still busy in September, gathering pollen from the cosmos I planted along the allotment border. Surprised to see one active this late, but the blooms are clearly worth its time – legs dusted, wings humming 🌸🌻🍯🐝💛 #bloomscrolling #allotmentlife

Calm after the storm. After a few days of heavy rain, the kitchen garden at the allotment is buzzing. A dragonfly hunts over the borage. Good to see things settling back into rhythm. #allotmentlife ≽༏≼🦋

I recently made this gooseberry & blackcurrant frangipane with fruit from the allotment - red and green gooseberries, sharp and sweet. Served with cream and not a crumb left. #kitchengarden

Just picked our red onions and they’re now curing out on the soil. Plump, deep in colour, and fully organic. It’s been a slow grow this year, but the bulbs have come through well. Looking forward to seeing how they store. #KitchenGarden

What could be more enjoyable than a day at Kew Gardens with your best friend who's in town from Los Angeles for a few days. Much chatter and a feast for the eyes. Glorious ❤️

Good morning. A basket of ripe plums gathered from the allotment. I’m thinking a slow simmer with sugar until it deepens and thickens. Jam jars at the ready. #kitchengarden 🍑

A better look at the cherry and blackberry crumble. I reckon this shot captures it more clearly, and I might just prefer it to the first.

The allotment’s full of blackberries and black cherries at the moment. I made a crumble using both and served it warm with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream. Everything from scratch. Simple, seasonal, and just right. #KitchenGarden ⋆ ✦ ̚ 🍒ɞ ˚ ⋆ 🥧
