HUGE NEWS - I’m sooo excited to say I’ve written a book! ☺️🌱📚 So in honour of that I’ve gone back in the archives to when I very first started gardening, when a handful of seeds grew in to one of the greatest passions of my life. I love gardening and couldn’t imagine my life without it. I believe in its ability to sooth us and bring joy, create a home for nature and most of all be fun and creative. But you don’t have to do loads of it for it to make a difference , 12 years ago I started with a few pots, the most important thing is just to start. I’ve been busily working away creating my book all year and I can’t wait to share it with you all. It’s packed with loads of my favourite gardening projects including veg, fruit, flowers and wildlife and with a section on gardening basics to get you started. You can pre order it now via the link in my bio ❤️ #bignews #gardening #booktok

Sweet potato update This project was such a highlight of 2024 for me. Sweet potato number 1 was from the supermarket and when I found it sprouting in my cupboard I had to give it a go. But sweet potato is a tropical vine which originated in South America and is cultivated in hot climates. After a miserable grey summer last year and being shaded out by my courgette plants I did not get a bumper harvest. But gardening for me is about the process of doing and what I learn along the way and honestly if I can make make one good meal from something, appreciate and pay attention then it’s worth it. Of course if you live somewhere warm you probably will have more greater success with a sweet potato sprouted from the shops! Two years ago I grew sweet potatoes from little plug plants I bought. The variety was Beauregard and it’s bred for a cooler climate. I’ve grown it three or four times and always got a pretty decent harvest. When I dug up my container grown haul at the end of 2023 I did try and sprout one or two little potatoes for my 2024 growing season but whilst the supermarket potato grew shoots like crazy the homegrown potatoes just turned to mush. I am so glad I kept one at the back of my cupboard because I’ve now learnt that old much dryer sweet potatoes are much more likely to sprout. After 14 months in the cupboard I found this little potato sprouting and having popped it in to water it’s now going for it. I have high hopes for my second generation Beauregard sweet potatoes this year! #sweetpotato #gardening #growfood #gardeningforbeginners

#AD I’m always looking for ways to make my gardening and home more sustainable and I’m genuinely so happy to be partnering with @smolproducts to share their new foaming handwash with you. I’m the kind of gardener that likes to get their hands in the soil and that means I wash my hands a lot, but I’m always struck by how much single use plastic everyday products like handwash can produce. smol’s foaming hand wash is a very satisfying and clever solution that means less plastic and lower carbon emission, it also has the added bonus of smelling lovely and making my hands nice and soft. You can visit the smol website via the link in my bio and pick up a trial pack. I’ve actually been so impressed that entirely separately to this collaboration I’ve signed up and paid for a whole range of smol’s household products. I can’t wait to share what I have planned for my new 8.5mx1.5m bed- hopefully a lot more than you might think! Although I did enjoy having a look back into the archives for these clips of me on my first allotment 10 years ago, I am glad the days of weed fabric are long behind me. #compost #nodig #HandsOnImpact #smolrevolution #foaminghandwash

This is FUN. Living in London with a little garden and knowing lots of people who want to grow but don’t have outdoor space I’m always thinking of ways that everyone can get growing something to eat. You don’t have to be self sufficient for growing food to be worth it. The fun in the project, the process, the learning and the harvest can be achieved in the smallest spaces. Microgreens are packed with nutrients, flavour, look great and grow so fast and you can grow them in practically anything, but there is something especially pleasing about these little tins lined up on the windowsill. Here I’ve grown - Broccoli Cress Pink kale Pak Choi Radish Sango I have been asked many times about what to do in the garden each month, when to start seeds, what’s good for each season - so I’m really excited to say I am launching a platform where people can grow along with me. I’ll be sharing what I’m sowing, growing, harvesting and eating as well as fun new projects and for all those who’ve been after more audio content, there will be audio versions of some of the content too. This is designed to complement my book and is initially only available to be people who’ve preordered (thank you so much to everyone who already has). If youve preordered my book send me a DM for a discount code ☺️. You can join the waitlist now and the first content is going live next weekend it includes a full in depth guide to growing microgreens and what I’m doing in the garden in Feb. Link in bio to preorder my book ☺️ #growfood #giveitagrow #microgreens #growfood

These 5 easy food growing projects are some of my favourites from my little garden. You don’t need a huge garden to grow your own and the taste and sense of satisfaction is so worth it. I’ve put together over 40 of my favourite projects from veg and fruit, to herbs, wildlife projects and flowers in my new book ‘Give it a grow’. I believe you don’t need to know anything about gardening to start. The gardening bug once caught not only has the potential to stick around for life, but might just grow to be an essential part of it. Yesterday the lovely team @penguinlifebooks took me to see my book being printed. I can’t really describe the feeling of seeing ‘Give it A Grow’ streaming off the production line - 61 books a minute! - really to be packed up and go out in to the world. I just really hope you like it and find it useful. You can preorder it now via the link in my bio ☺️😊☺️. For my lovely US followers - it is not available to order in the US yet but I should have an update for you all on this in the next couple of weeks. Thanks so much to the many of you who’ve been in touch wanting to get a copy! #gardeningforbeginners #containergardening #book

If you want to grow your own fruit tree - winter is the perfect time to start. In the winter many fruit trees are sold ‘bare root’ which is literally what it sounds like, they dig up the tree and you buy it with its roots in a bag, no soil. These trees are cheaper than potted ones and online or at a large garden centre you can find a huge variety of options. Bare roots trees have to be planted in winter when the plant is dormant - so now is the time! This pear tree has lived many lives, it was given to me as a gift about 11 years ago and went in the ground at my first allotment, when I gave up that plot I dug it up and it sat in a bucket at my parents for a while before they (thankfully) put it in that big pot - where it was very happy. Many smaller fruit trees can grow very well in pots. The main reason mine needed planting in the ground again is because at the end of my garden I rarely watered it. I don’t have a garden tap and the hose I attach to my kitchen sink didn’t reach the pot at the end of the garden. A good lesson in remembering to make looking after your garden practical and easy. There’s lots more about growing fruit (including trees) in pots in my new book ‘Give It A Grow’ which is available to pre order now via the link in my bio. People always ask what variety of pear this is, I was given it a very long time ago so don’t know for sure but I believe it’s a Concorde. When firm it’s perfect for poaching and putting in desserts and as it ripens (off the tree after harvesting) it is the sweetest juiciest smooth fleshed sumptuous pear in existence. A true delight. #growfood #growfruit #pears #fruittrees

Making you own compost is the number one thing I tell anyone and everyone to do. Even if you only have a balcony this stuff is supercharged full of nutrients and soil life to nourish your plants and is completely free. It’s also so much better in every way than putting the waste in the bin where it could end up in landfill releasing methane. Good for the planet, great for your garden and I think good for the soul making compost is for me an absolute no-brainer. My compost bin was here when I moved in but you can often pick up second hand ones very cheaply or for free, or make one out of free pallets, an old bin or even just by burying you waste in a hole in the ground. The important thing is to include plenty of brown waste - at least 50% otherwise your compost can become smelly and soggy. Check out the brilliant @compostable.kate for lots more composting tips, she has a great book ‘the compost coach’ full of composting wisdom. Practice makes perfect with composting and I’m so happy with the texture and quantity of mine this year, last year I got way less and it was a little sticky. The addition of the aeration tube definitely helped, it sped up the process and I made room for me to add more material. I also made more effort to add to my bin this year, buying a designated caddy bin for the kitchen and making sure to add more brown waste. My book ‘Give it a Grow’ includes a section on garden basics covering composting and how to make a wormery as well as well as lots of other tips to get you all set up to get the most from your garden. It’s available to pre order now via the link in my bio. I’ve also started a Bokashi bin, an ingenious process where you add special bacteria which ferments your food waste - which can include all cooked and uncooked food not just veg scraps meaning you can turn even more waste in to food for your garden. Looking forward to sharing more on that with you all soon. So don’t delay, start composting today! #compost #recycle #nutrients #soil #gardeningforbeginners
