I’m all about walking down the sweetpea rows at this time of the year! There’s so many different varieties to choose from but they need to have a beautiful scent. A sweetpea without a scent is like a fart that doesn’t smell……very disapointing😆🌸

Oh Bi%*h Peas! Who wouldn’t like peas? Not only can you eat the shoots, flowers, pods and peas but they will easily grow in a kitchen window, polytunnel, greenhouse, pot or even an old toilet! They can grow pretty much anywhere you plonk some soil so why not give them a try this summer. Pea hummus anyone!!!🌱🌱🌱

Yes you can grow tomatoes outside! This years tomato in the old watering can is looking really happy and why not. Now it’s started flowing I’ll be giving it a feed once a week with either seaweed or tomato feed! 🍅

I loves the cucumbers! You don’t need a dragons egg to enjoy a cucumber, just gobble one raw. Not only do they taste great they can also help to keep you hydrated in the day and after you’ve had a few too many adult beverages🍹Maybe even pop one in a gin, hey @hendricksgin ???🥒🥒

That’s shallot! Nice to see the crazy world of allium reproduction in progress. I love growing shallots as they are simple to grow, take up very little space, great to eat and you can easily save them to replant each year🧅🧅

One of the more unusual courgettes I like to grow each year is Zephyr! It’s fairly prolific and is happy in the ground or in a pot. I’ve grown them both outside and in a greenhouse/tunnel and they seem to work well with their yellow fruits dipped with green. They don’t taste any different but pick small, slice lengthways, salt and pepper them and then cook in a pan or on a bbq 🔥

First couple of Dragons Egg cucumbers and they are available on the veg stand! Discovered by a modern day German plant hunter in Croatia. It probably started out as a normal white cucumber but after years of repeated seed saving it’s slowly transformed it this wonderful beast! 🥒🥒🥒

Slowly the mill garden is beginning to look more ship shape for the summer. I do love a good mix of nasturtiums and borage! Not only are they tasty but they attract slugs, snails, butterflies and caterpillars away from your precious veg! For more info check out my book #sowgrowgather

If you can put soil in it, then you can grow in it! After last years very successful tomato plant that grew in this broken watering can, I’ve planted it up again🌱 It’s outdoors on a south facing wall, in the UK. Use any container you like as long as you allow the water to drain out, even an old toilet will do the job! Go give it a try🍅🍅🍅

Let’s talk about robbing! I’m not talking about stealing thongs from shops or cash from your grans biscuit tin. I’m talking about nitrogen robbing. It’s the process where bacteria process carbon(woodchip, shedded plants, grass etc) and in doing this they eat some nitrogen. That’s fine in nitrogen rich compost but with poor compost you’ll be running low on the old nitro levels!!!🌱

Thanks for all your replies! Seems like it’s a huge issue finding decent, affordable and reliable peat-free compost. Maybe we need to look at making it more regulated with a better reviewing system and possibly a ‘seal of approval’ to go on brands that are producing decent stuff! I’ll keep investigating…..🌱

Tell me about your compost fetish! In the world of peat-free compost I’m finding a large selection of brands that are suppling compost that’s pure s#%t, and not in a horse manure kind of way. Should there be an industry standard? Should they be allowed to sell any old crap labelled ‘happy farm’ to pull on your horticultural heart strings. I want to know what’s your favourite compost and why?🌱🌱🌱
