Yaaay! ☺️🍅 You’re very welcome! ❤️ #HomeGrownWithLove

In the garden, I’m holding a steel colander containing six large green/ black heart shaped ribbed tomatoes.

This year the garden has just kept giving 🥹 Bringing half of the Crushed Heart tomatoes in today for indoor ripening.. There are still more on the plants but the seasons are changing so they won’t last much longer 🍅🍁🍃❤️ #Organic #GrowYourOwn #HomeGrownWithLove

So I’ve spent pretty much all day today converting 2kg of my San Marzano’s into 300g of concentrated tomato paste. I wish you could taste how incredible this is.. Only two ingredients, tomato and a little salt ☺️🧂🍅😋❤️ #Organic #HomeGrownWithLove #HomeMadeWithLove

I’ve spent way more time than I should have trying to identify tomatoes I’ve grown this year from ‘mixed exotics’ seed. These are Crushed Heart tomatoes that are going in the ripening bowl today. Aren’t they pretty? 😍 🌱💔🍅 #Organic #HomeGrownWithLove #GrowYourOwn

Cooking tomatoes is great but when you’ve got a whole variety with wonderful flavours they are amazing just as they are!
Caprese croissant anyone? 🥐🍅😋❤️ #HomegrownWithLove

A fully ripe white beefsteak tomato (yes I know it’s yellow 😂) variety unknown. I didn’t even know white tomatoes were a thing until very recently! 😅 Our view of food is massively skewed by what we see in the supermarkets 🙃🍅🤍 #GrowYourOwn #HomeGrownWithLove #Organic

A huge bowl full of multicoloured tomatoes and a smaller plastic box containing the same above it.

Amongst a few other things, I’m going to attempt to grow some chickpeas this year 🌱❤️ #HomeGrownWithLove

Flowers are lovely, but have you ever had someone grow you a tomato? 🍅💖 Gardening is an act of love—nurturing, growing, and sharing the best of what we have.

Who else thinks the best gifts come from the garden? 🌱💘 #SustainableLove #AdventuresInBotany #HomegrownWithLove #PlantsOverChocolates
