I lighting and heat mat setup is working well. Starting early germination and lighting boosts before I move to grow house.

Have you looked at a #VegGrowing planner & wondered why it doesn't apply to your region? We’re asking you to take simple measurements from your French bean crop so we can build data that provides better regional specific growing info.🫛Find out more👉 www.gardenorganic.org.uk/.../build-a-....
And that's the lettuce finally done, plus the fennel, cardoons and most of the radishes off now. From now on it'll be perpetual spinach and chard until next year.
One year I'll be organised enough to grow some winter brassicas!

Just a wonderful human being growing wonderful cabbages. Do we really need anything more? 💜 #redcabbage #ukgrowers #gardening #veggrowing
My tomato growhouse collapsed in the winds today 😕 Hopefully I've strung up the plants for good enough support and also made a little frame for climbers/trailers. All is not lost!! #growyourown #veggie #veggrowing
I sowed two whole rows of parsnips and all I got was this measly seedling. #veggrowing

Time to pick apples 😊 far too early to harvest yet but my trees are laden - if I leave all these it will stress the tree I'll only get small apples & they'll be prone to disease. So I am reducing clusters over 3 fruits and removing the smallest to leave room for the rest 💚 #gardening 🌱 #veggrowing
One small compensation in my fried vegetable garden: the salsify have run to seed, big sculptural fluffballs around 8cm across like dandelion clocks on steroids. I'll pick one or two, save the seed and sow later when the weather is damp again #gardening 🌱 #veggrowing #seedsaving
Back home after a few weeks away to find... my lovely housesitter read the bit about watering pots, but skimmed the bit about the veg garden 😭😭😭 greenhouse & well mulched courgettes survived the heatwave but the rest is carnage. Now on a rescue mission 😪 #startingover #gardening 🌱 #veggrowing
We are feasting on these at the moment 😍 best thing about being a veg grower: you can eat luxury expensive veg every day & lots of it, organic, plastic and #peatfree, and costing pennies 😋 these are mangetout 'Oregon Sugarpod', my fave variety and prolifically generous #veggrowing 🌱 #gardening

Q. for #GrowYourOwn folks:
I'm looking for recs for a good, reliable, pickling recipe. If it's useful to know, I want to use it for small beets.

Using branches to put the foxes and birds off seems to be working. Like how this looks a lot better than netting .

Before and after... Not bad for an hour's work. It felt so good to be out and the boys even joined in willingly! 🤯 Now roll on the growing season! 🫛🌾🥒

Rainy visit to the plot, but honestly look at some of the winter veg showing off, the deep pinks and purples in this brassica is to die for, they are in a garden bed by the gate and bring me joy everytime I walk by them. #allotment #gardening #veggrowing #horticulture #allotmentuk
Next stage of the raised bed. Adding grass cuttings and fine wood chips. #gardening #nodig #allotment #veggrowing
Starting a new raised bed on my No Dig allotment. Scaffold boards painted and fixed, layer of cardboard down and wood chip spread out. #gardening #nodig #allotment #veggrowing
Does anyone else think about planning their allotment when they can’t sleep? 🌱
Must start digging a bean trench this week to fill with kitchen scraps over winter…

Decided to combine #woodworking #veggrowing and buying cheap arches off the internet. A runner bean entrance to the poly tunnel hopefully.
