Great to have been growing #peatfree for the last 30 years.

Hurrah! Yesterday we finished potting on the abutilons propagated last season into 10 cm and 13 cm coir pots. Availability of 80+ varieties from May (depending on the weather!). Grown #peatfree, delivered #plasticfree.

It’s very busy on the nursery - with a steady stream of herbs being delivered to the packing barn for prepping and labelling then delivery out to our lovely garden centre customers 🌱🇬🇧

Such a privilege to be asked to give evidence to the Environmental Audit Committee on the importance of leaving peat in the ground where it belongs 💚 #endpeatsales #peatfree #gardening 🌱 #horticulture @peatfree.bsky.social

dus we halen turf uit het baltisch gebied. deze turf wordt gewonnen uit veengebieden, wat leidt tot de vernietiging van natuurgebieden en een aanzienlijke CO2-uitstoot. en we plempen in die landen ons afval 🤯 #turfvrij #peatfree

Every day is a picking herb orders day for Abby on the nursery… #peatfree #herbs #horticulture 🌱🇬🇧

All growing on beautifully 🌱🇬🇧 #horticulture #herbs #flowers #peatfree

slowly does it..

en nu nog naar #turfvrij #peatfree

Oh these cold nights… Not much needs to be fleeced at this time of year but it’s worth covering the little seedlings when the temp is dropping to 1c overnight. #seeds #herbs #flowers #peatfree

When Mint just doesn’t want to be contained. When it would prefer to escape and run from its roots 🌱🇬🇧 #herbs #flowers #peatfree

Wrapped and ready to head to RHS plant centres across England 🌱🇬🇧

I dreamed of direct sowing cucumbers in the high tunnel earlier this year but I had no idea that early March would be the time. These started growing during the coldest period we’ve had lately (nighttime lows), which is even more baffling. 🌿 #peatfree #raisedbeds #seeds

The Foxtail Rosemary was looking beautiful in the polytunnel yesterday - it’s one of my favourites, a dense, low growing and arching form that’s gets covered in beautiful flowers and has a great flavour and fragrance too! 🌱🇬🇧 #herbs #flowers #peatfree

White Borage 🤍
Self sown in one of the polytunnels it has these beautiful white, edible flowers. More commonly grown as the traditional blue, I think they’re both gorgeous 🪴🇬🇧 #herbs #flowers #peatfree

It’s easy to feel like I’m behind with so many things I would have liked to have started already this year, but when I realize that the green bunching onions are well on their way, with no transplanting needed, I feel content and grateful. #peatfree #raisedbeds #directsow 🌿

Because bags of compost aren’t big enough for us 🌱🇬🇧 #peatfree #flowers #herbs #pepperpotherbs

Germination station - Coriander seeds that were sown two weeks ago 🌱🇬🇧

Do you opt for peat-free compost?
Thanks for protecting peatlands worldwide 💚
Peat is best left in the land and restored for #HighNatureLowCarbon.

Who else is looking forward to a garden full of herby flowers? These are Pot Marigolds, in front of Sweet Rocket with the magenta and green leaves of Tree Spinach right at the back 🌱🇬🇧

Some more of the little herbs to finish the weekend. These are recently potted Coriander plants, sown earlier this year; at the minute we sow around 1500 of them each week and pot them up in turn - to keep them looking fresh and ready for sale 🌱🇬🇧 #peatfree #herbs #flowers

We’re supporting the nationwide call to end peat sales. @peatfree.bsky.social is petitioning for legislation now. Add your name to the growing movement to end peat sales and protect peatlands:

When we pot up the herb plugs they start to root and grow on in the polytunnels. These little Italian Parsley plants were sown, germinated and potted up this year 🌱🇬🇧 #herbs #peatfree #flowers

Finally managed to snag the last 40 litre bag of #peatfree compost from the nearest shop to me (still a mile walk with a trolley mind). I thought I was going to have to do a longer hike as earlier in the week they just had top soil, bark mulch and some we're-not-going-to-tell-you-what's-in-the-bag.
