I've been away for a while, but finally found time to get out in the garden and pull some garlic 🧄🌱

These strawberries gave structure to the garden but always felt like wasted space so this year all but the very end one's are going.

What was several 50cm planters is now 3 by 3 metres of new growing space 👨‍🌾🌱💚🟢

Check out this beautiful moss growth from the inside corner of the greenhouse 💚🟢🌱

What's your first plant of the year? 🌱

I always kick things off with peas 👨‍🌾 #Gardening #GrowYourOwn

I'm hoping my bell pepper's this year turn out better and bigger than last year 👨‍🌾🟢🌱💚

I'm heading in the opposite direction 😂

My strawberries were so pitiful last year that I'm sacrificing some of them so I can have the planters for other plants. 🌱

The rarest critter I've seen in the garden was this 👇 (lesser stag beatle, I think)

Saw it once, on it's own, then never again 🌱

Just looking back through pictures from last year and remembered that I need to start bug watching a bit earlier this year.

Last year I'd lost like half a red currant bush before I even realised they were there, so I'm sure they'll return this year. 🌱👨‍🌾

And I'll be waiting 👀

One of the few garden 'pests' that's never caused me any problems ☺️🌱🟢

Aphids on the other hand, can go get f... 😂

I'm yet to be scammed\spammed on here. On that bird site it happens almost hourly.

The weather is still too inconsistent to start planting, but I did manage to get half the greenhouse wiped down and bought some compost.
So I'm 50% ready for spring 🧑‍🌾🌱
February 22, 2024 at 3:46 PM
Not the most interesting photo, but I was excited to see the first signs of growth today on the red currant bush 🧑‍🌾🌱

Hope everyone else's garden has also taken those first steps into spring ☺️🌱

One for all you #Moss lovers! 🌱🟢☺️

I saw so many ladybirds today.
Every plant I looked at was covered in them 🌱🐞🧑‍🌾

I was really hoping to see them leave, but I checked the pipe today and after being plugged up all winter, looks like they've spread their wings 🥲🐝🌱

I'm yet to see a single thing actually make use of my 'insect motel' 😂

They seem to nest everywhere but there.

Here's one of a small pot I turned out and found they'd made into a nest, using sections of leaf cut from a nearby pea plant 👇🌱

It's almost time to find out if these little fella's made it through the winter. The one at the front spent ages packing it (presumably with babies) and it's still sealed so finger's cross 🤞🐝🌱

The growing season is fast approaching! 🧑‍🌾

Are you planning on growing anything new this year? 🌱
February 11, 2024 at 3:09 PM
I wonder if either of them know the other is there 🤭🌱🐕🦉
February 8, 2024 at 7:12 PM
This corner of the garden looked okay last summer but I just feel like I'm wasting a lot of space.
I planted tomatoes on the support and they just didn't grow well at all, so I might dig it over and create a small raised bed 🤔🧑‍🌾🌱
February 8, 2024 at 1:52 PM
That's great! 🥳

Shouldn't numbers like this 'abbreviate' though? Now they're starting to get higher. All the other values do, but I notices likes just keep growing.

Almost time to start sowing for spring 🌱

It might be a bit early still but I think I'm going to sow some pea's in seed trays in the GH, and just see how it goes 🧑‍🌾

With Christmas over and spring fast approaching I'm getting even more creative with using up the odds and ends 🌱🍷

Frozen raspberry bits
Pear cider
And a children's slushie cup

Served up in a wine glass to make me feel posh 🤭
