That’s me holding a bundle of freshly picked rhubarb in the allotment kitchen garden, looking quite pleased with myself. These are the regular stems from the beds rather than the forced ones from earlier - deeper red, broader, and a bit more robust in appearance. Behind me, the kitchen garden is coming back to life, with worked soil and early growth. A decent haul for one picking, and enough for a rhubarb crumble later.

Rhubarb from the beds to go with the forced - a good haul all round. #GreenHeart 💚

期限切れの長ネギの種をまいた結果。
うう〜ん発芽率〜😵‍💫
いやまぁ、期限がとんでもなく切れてる割には出てきてるというべきか…
暖かくなったからか、今になって出てきてる芽もちらほらあるんだけど、暑くなる前に追い蒔きしておいた

A traditional terracotta rhubarb forcer sits in a kitchen garden allotment bed, with pale pink rhubarb stalks and bright green tufts pushing up through the top opening. The stems are long, slender, and lightly coloured from being grown in darkness, set against early spring soil and surrounded by a mass of Fultons Strawberry Surprise and Victoria rhubarb leaves.

Rhubarb pushing its way out of the forcer on the allotment.
Grown in the dark, it comes out tender, almost silk-like, with a softer acidity. Going into a crumble later - very little sugar needed. #KitchenGarden 🎋

I hope there are still a lot of #kitchengarden programs happening out there. We need them now more than ever.

A day of appreciation! A lovely day, lovely trees, lovely pear blossom, pruning almost finished...

Although, I was swiftly brought back down to earth when I hit myself on the head with my secateurs whilst moving the ladder! #igotskills 😂✂️🪜🤕

今日の収穫分。5〜6本ほど

まだ何本か残っている長ネギエリアの様子。 ていうか、そろそろ草取りしないとまずいかも…😑

ちなみに今日はこのくらい収穫しました😊
畑には、あと15本くらい残ってる。細いけど。

長ネギの葉が折れてるので、よく見たら…

筒状の葉を破って、蕾が現れている😮

根本の泥を落としたら、ここからも独立を図っていた

長ネギ、花芽がつくたびに収穫してるんだけど、今日はこんなの見つけた。
葉が折れてるじゃん、と思って抜いたら、花芽が葉の内側から出てきそうになってる
ネットで調べたら、分けつしそうになってるらしく、へえ〜分けつってこんななんだ😮

Tomato seed packets and seedling 8-pack

I planted an 8-pack of slicing tomato seeds (7 types) & 8 pack of sauce tomato seeds (2 types). As a gardener w/ limitations 👨🏼‍🌾, I mostly planted determinate varieties, disease resistant hybrids. Anyone who can, should grow a victory garden this year. #Gardening 🌱 #KitchenGarden #VictoryGarden

Good Saturday? Oh, sow sow.

I got some of my gardening done today. I've sown outdoor tomatoes, sweetcorn, garden peas, more potatoes, and pricked out my brassicas (sounds painful!).

A SPRING GARDEN IN A DISH — A VINTAGE TRADITION🌿 A quiet return to a vintage spring ritual — small windowsill gardens grown from carrot tops, citrus seeds, and herb cuttings. This gentle practice invites patience, observation, and care, offering a simple way to welcome the season and watch something living unfold day by day.

A quiet spring ritual 🌿
Carrot tops, citrus seeds, and small cuttings grown on the windowsill — simple, slow, and beautifully alive. A vintage tradition worth keeping.

I’ve grown spinach in the greenhouse over winter. There were slim pickings in the depths but it’s gone wild now 🌿🌿🌿🌿

The back garden may be a mess, but it's my mess, and perhaps it will be a little less messy after the weekend?

Plus, there are gooseberries. Did I mention that?

And I'm finished for the long weekend! Hooray!

Of course there's a storm forecast.

I've got home to find our first gooseberry flowers. The broad beans are coated in flowers too.
