Sowing herbs, salad crops and bedding plants

With spring upon us, I’ve set a load of herbs, salad crops and flowers for this summer’s garden.

Strawberry picking and some new arrivals

The garden is continuing to provide as the first strawberries are picked; the second courgette is picked; and new plants arrive.

Go digging in the garden

I just pulled some #carrots and #parsnips for dinner... Erm... . . . . . #family #carrot #freshveg #veg #vegetables #homegrown #digforvictory #growyourownfood #freshfood #growyourown #harvest #gardening #gardener #mutant

I've been #planting some more #bulbs today. The #garden is quite wet, but at least it's not raining or so cold (actually, I'm feeling a bit fluey, so no idea what the real temperature is). #snowdrops are in (such an important early #flower alongside the #crocus, as the #bees can use it for food. Also planted out the #allium bulbs, and the dark blue #tulips. The bright and cheery tulips will go out the front another day . . . . . #gardening #gardener #garden #digforvictory #growyourown #flowers #pretty #instagardeners #inmygarden #mygarden

Nipped out for a bit of #pruning in the #garden.

Still on the pull! The wonderful smell of freshly #pulled #homegrown #carrots 😍 . . . . . #gardening #gardener #garden #digforvictory #growyourown #vintage #veggies #freshveg #healthyfood #healthyeating #instagardeners #gardening

Lightly turning some #soil over with the #fork and #spade. Loads of #worms in here, as well as 50bn tons of stinking cat shit. Whilst I was digging my own cat came along to add some more and my lungs almost fell out 😫. . . . . #digforvictory #digging #gardening #gardener #garden #instagardeners #dig #growyourownfood #growityourself

And there we go... Yet more #courgette and Cheddar #soup. 😛
