Iris's are flowering. A brief joy each year #iris #inmygardentoday #cottagegarden #englishgarden #flowersky #gardensky

First harvest of broad beans, peas, mange tout and courgette for tonights tea. Going to do pasta with it and the purple sprouting broccoli i picked yesterday in cream cheese lemon and basil sauce 👍👍 #gardenharvest #inmygardentoday #homegrown #foodsky #whatsfordinner #veg

Ridiculously excited about growing these types of tomatoes now i have my playhouse greenhouse #tomatoes #greenhouse #homegrown #growyourown #inmygardentoday

First batch of raspberry jam 😋 Not as great as usual as i listened to Mary Berry that granulated sugar and lemon juice was enough to set good jam instead of the jam sugar i normally use. Damn you Mary. #jam #preserving #raspberries #homegrown

The drying of various herbs experiment has been successful on all counts. Its the future. #herbs #dryingherbs #preserving #homegrown ##inthegarden #inmygardentoday #homesteading #selfsufficiency

This is what a sumbathing chicken looks like #chickens #pets #backgardenchickens #yardchickens

This is such a cold May. Totally miserable today like a March day. Really holding back my veg growing. Frustrating.

Yay! Courgettes up in a week in the propagator 💚 #growyourown #veggrowing #seedlings #inthegarden

I live having a soup on the go in slowcooker, just chuck in whatever you have that day. Today is chicken thigh, potato, onion, turnip, carrot and wild garlic 😋 #slowcooker #whatsforlunch #soup

Frost this morning so i thought id see what the temp is in the various growing areas i have... Cold frame mini green house 5c Playhouse converted Greenhouse 16! Heated propagator in garage 14 So there you go the playhouse wins! I think ill move seed trays into playhouse to germinate.

Chucked in a few chicken thighs and the cheap easter veg i got for £15p (potstoes onions, carrots, swede). Reckon that will make some tasty lunches for next few days 👍

Food production is well underway, so far ive started: Mangetout Sugarsnap peas Broadbeans Kale Purple sprouting broccoli Beetroot Rocket Salad mixed Radish tomatoes chillies Aubergines Sweet peppers Runnerbeans Various courgettes Cucumbers Brussel sprouts Celery Celeriac Sweetcorn potatoes
