My cold frame is fit to burst. Next week's weather should help bring some of these seedlings along. #peas are poking their heads up, #beetroot and #cauliflower are sprouting g along with #lettuce and #broccoli. All the #strawberrries are ready to go into hanging baskets, one #raspberrycane is ready to be planted and some companion plants cuttings are ready to go out. . In a few short weeks I'm hoping the allotments and garden will ge awash with colour and the life of spring 😊🌼 . #allotmentuk #allotmentgarden #vegpatch #theediblegarden #vegetablegarden #kitchengarden #grownfromseed #seeds #growyourown #allotmentsofinstagram #gardensofinstagram #greenfingers #gyo #freshgrownfood #growingyourownfood #homegrownveggies #growtoeat #plot85aandthepatch #thepatch (at Warlingham) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMrzpqSh7cz/?igshid=17ixtaorymdei

This years garlic is growing much better than last years. Last year I put my into the ground, which at the time was not free draining and didn't have alot of nutrients. This year, after talking to a gardening friend of mine, I followed his recommendation and planted them in my trough which had fresh, free draining soil. This looks like it has done the trick, as the stems are thick and the tops are healthy and tall. . I went for a soft neck 'rose wight' variety. Looking forward to digging them up in June 🧄 . #garlic #garlicgrowing #freshgrownfood #growingyourownfood #growing #homegrown #vegetables #thegoodlife #gyo #growyourown #allotmentsofinstagram #gardensofinstagram #greenfingers #ukallotment (at Pampisford Road Allotments) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMpjlt0BIDC/?igshid=f4hcyjphbr8y

I started these #broadbeans from #seeds sown in Oct 2020. They were planted out late Feb and have been doing really well. I haven't grown these before but in our house we love broadbean risotto with charred peppers and drizzle of soy sauce, so I thought I'd given them a go. Plus if I have a glut of them they freeze really well. . My mum told me that my Grandpop loved growing these and their flower's scent is stunning. As these start to bud, I can't wait to find out what they smell like. . #gyo #grownfromseed #freshgrownfood #homegrown #vegetables #homegrownveggies #vegetablebox #VEGPATCH #theediblegarden #vegetablegarden #kitchengarden #londonallotment #allotmentsofinstagram #gardensofinstagram #greenfingers (at Pampisford Road Allotments) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMpiuDrB2P2/?igshid=wix96yl2qyqk

First year growing these beautiful #purplesproutingbroccoli . Each frond is brilliant purple and they are growing in abundance. . Its amazing to grow something myself that is so expensive in supermarkets and #homegrown is always sweeter. . Any searching suggestions or recipes for them??? . #greenfingers #growingyourownfood #grownfromseed #gyo #freshgrownfood #homegrown #allotmentsofinstagram #plot85aandthepatch #gardensofinstagram #homegrownveggies #growtoeat #vegpatch #allotmentuk (at Pampisford Road Allotments) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMphJtjB6Di/?igshid=1ix7e3z0m12xq

Last year I planted up the strawberry runners and they are looking really healthy. I have brought hanging baskets for these to be planted out into. . The raspberry cane has sprouted new growth so we should be able to plant it out soon for some autumn raspberries. . #spinach #broccoli and #beetroot seedlings are growing nicely too. Only one pea has sprouted but I have more growing in root trainers. Fingers crossed for a warm spell to increase growth 😊 . #allotmentuk #vegpatch #theediblegarden #vegetablegarden #kitchengarden #grownfromseed #seeds #growyourown #allotmentsofinstagram #gardensofinstagram #greenfingers #ukallotment #plot85aandthepatch #plot85a (at Warlingham) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMZ_uMTgiUG/?igshid=yob70qqdgsyn

Windowsill seedlings are growing well. A little leggy but I'll pot them on this weekend. . Still haven't seen the #cayenne pepper seeds poking through yet. Any suggestions in the best conditions to growing chillis? . #allotmentuk #vegpatch #theediblegarden #vegetablegarden #kitchengarden #grownfromseed #seeds #growyourown #allotmentsofinstagram #gardensofinstagram #greenfingers #ukallotment #londonallotment #chillis #freshgrownfood #allotmenteersofinstagram #allotmenthelp #plot85aandthepatch (at Warlingham) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMPXfEzgPog/?igshid=6ktsnhx518n5

My first pea shoot of the season. I am growing the variety 'Green Hurst' which are a good strong variety with lovely sweet peas and beautiful flowers. .

I lost a few to frost but the rest are growing strong. . #allotmentuk #vegpatch #theediblegarden #vegetablegarden #kitchengarden #grownfromseed #allotmentlife #allotmentjourney #allotmenteersofinstagram #allotmentsofinstagram #gardensofinstagram #greenfingers #seeds #ukallotment #gyo #grownfromseed (at Pampisford Road Allotments) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMIJdBqA0C5/?igshid=pgy72jmax9tz

Sunday session at The PATCH. The sun was shinning and it was a g tree at day to be at the allotment. . Cleared out raspberry canes from last season, removed cabbages that had gone to seed and covered the left hand side with cardboard to kill the weeds off. Also got the strimmer out to clear the pathways. . Im in awe of the amount of #rhubarb growing. So much crumble is going to be made. . #allotmentuk #vegpatch #theediblegarden #vegetablegarden #kitchengarden #londonallotment #allotmentlife #growingyourownfood #allotmentsofinstagram #gardensofinstagram #greenfingers #allotmentjourney #gyo #allotmentuk #allotmentgarden #allotmentlife (at Pampisford Road Allotments) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMIIWAogqtJ/?igshid=17y4ulvssm5tt

Pottering round my new garden today and saw this beautiful #japanesecamellia in bloom. Such stunning colours. . Today was a day of maintenance in the garden. Mowing the lawn for the first time this year, pruning bushes and fixing bed edges. Looking forward to seeing all the surprises this garden has to offer. 🌼 . #greenfingers #gardensofinstagram #newhome #newgarden #gardenproject #gardeningjourney #lovegardening #growyourown #gardenersworld #camellia #winterrose #gardeninspiration #gardeninspo (at Warlingham) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMF7zwKg10D/?igshid=jhki8lmh88aa

Lunch break well spent. More seeds sown, ready for the sunshine to help them grow. 🌼🌾☀️ . Used some mini #coir plugs this time. One seed per plug. This should work well for small seeds but I wouldn't use them for anything larger than beetroot seeds. . #seedsowing #seedstarting #springtime #spring2021 #freshgrownfood #growingyourownfood #grownfromseed #seeds #growyourown #allotmentsofinstagram #gardensofinstagram #greenfingers #ukallotment https://www.instagram.com/p/CMClwsXAQ-P/?igshid=1w4vny6i3gq15

First seedlings of the year sprouting. #calabrese and #rainbowbeetroot . This is the first time I have been able to grow on a windowsill as I previously didn't have deep enough ones. I'll be sowing more seeds today and erecting my mini greenhouse in the garden for them to harden off in. . What seeds are you planting in March? . #allotmentuk #vegpatch #theediblegarden #vegetablegarden #kitchengarden #grownfromseed #seeds #growyourown #gyo #freshgrownfood #growingyourownfood #homegrownveggies #growtoeat #allotmentsofinstagram #gardensofinstagram #greenfingers #ukallotment (at Warlingham) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMCEjONgPXF/?igshid=ydxgs0fo7tcl
