The U.K. hits 10 hours of daylight mark… it’s still chilly! With protections in place at this point in February it’s the start of some sowing … just don’t get too carried away! This year’s cut flowers avec mode - it’s about the classics! #chrysanthemum 🌱💚🌿 @heartofeden_ahs youtu.be/vDqiCVmJ9MY?...

It’s that time when I need to do a health check on the webpage… looking in good form. A few tweaks still to make, but if you’ve ever wondered what I do… it’s rather packed! (Although I’ve had to leave the full videography to YouTube, as it’s getting pretty extensive!) 🌱💚🌿 www.theallotmentcook.com

Each year I love to try something a bit different- this one is all about growing for physical well being. It may be a way to ditch the synthetic supplements… or at the least, some stunning plants & great ingredients to cook with! #alternativehealth #menopause #sponsored 🌱💚🌿 youtu.be/lLcYmsz1FrQ?...

So this is what having a lot of fruit-bushes looks like when you get pruning! Lots of grounded runners on the thornless blackberries, pulled up and potted on- free plants and happy healthy fruit bushes - which really needed doing as they’re starting to come out of dormancy. #fruitgarden 🌱💚🌿

Fabulous February and the next step in the journey of my brassicas… finally going into their final growing position. But what else do you need to consider when planting out your own grown babies? #sustainablegardening #sponsored @heartofeden 🌱💚🌿 #allotmentuk youtube.com/watch?v=QM0U...

It’s easy to get carried away by the concept of perfection, but is this doing the best for our biodiversity/wildlife? It’s time to normalise a bit of “mess” leave those “unkept” areas and build up those natural defences for the growing year ahead! #biodiversity #supportnature #allotmentlife 🌱🌿💚

As some of us have been thrown into snow or subzero temperatures- this is one for the thaw or those who have escaped the worst! This isn’t the time to split & divide. Mulch & feed is certainly the way to go! #sponsored Heart of Eden (AHS Ltd) 🌱💚🌿 #allotmentlife #garden youtu.be/ydkUXRMyMZ0?...

I frustrate myself over not sitting enough to just read. And this is a great read! Thanks to lucycgardens.bsky.social for sending me a sneak peek of her stunning book, available today. Accessible for new growers, but brilliant details for more advanced too! #gifted #gardenbook 🌱💚🌿 #allotmentlife
