25 #chili plants, reckon that's enough? #GrowOwnFood #Gardening

Famine in the USA this fall? I think yes.

Brilliantly understandable argument by @sarahtaber right here:

But there's a much bigger global problem about to rear it's ugly head, I think.

We've been raised in the West to assume food is cheap and abundant, but we can't destroy nature and keep pretending that is a simple fact of life. As always, the underprivileged will be hit first and hardest.

Found in the fridge, going to plant them between the strawberries.

My donated #avocado tree is now over 2 years old.

Hopefully I will have a yard soon so I can grow it to be a full tree

Three years old, and at last the passionfruit has flowers!

This Swiss chard on my balcony planter is more than 2 years old.

I have harvested #leaves from it at least 9 times and it's time to cut more leaves again to make #vegetable #soup.

It is absolutely delicious & the highest ROI of my #balcony #garden. #SwissChard

I have put up a new blog post about my garden, and the feeling of being inspired after some rain.

Yesterday was all about herbs. A visit to the Kitchen Garden Plant Centre to talk plants and growing for a future feature.

OK UK #allotment types, when are you planting your first earlies this year? #potatoes #GrowOwnFood

Just picked a bowl of pomegranates from our tree, before the birds get them all.

Die gelben Zuckererbsen machen kräftig voran. Eigentlich könnte man sie auch direkt ins Beet legen, aber bei mir sind Mäuse, die die Erbsen klauen. Also werden sie in Töpfchen vorgezogen und erst ausgepflanzt, wenn sie zu groß für die Nagetiere sind.

First proper session on the allotment in '25 & the uncomplicated dopamine swell of outdoor physical work on a spring day.

Lambs on the hillside already, tiny green buds on the gooseberry bush, and a perfect little ladybird overseeing proceedings. Immensely grateful that my not-always-easy-to-manage brain gets pleasure from all this, & hope you have your version to enjoy today too.

Trying to sell my hydroponic system. Don't have the heart to take it down

It has
- 1 Jalapeno pepper
- 1 Habanero pepper
- 1 serrano pepper
&
- 1 flower

2x12L dutch bucket systems and a 40L water reservoir, with 2 timers, one for the light and one for the pump.

The 17W LED light is from discontinued IKEA Växer system.

It's now full of pepper flowers and fruits.

Cleaning up the balcony and found a bunch of #strawberries.

Ate the 2 that were big and juicy and saving these until they are ready.

Another cutting from the street plants that is growing so well.

The roots inside the water reservoir of the 2L self watering unit are over 70cm long.

I'm thinking about keeping this one because I love the red color and it can get really big on the fence of our future house.

This light-hearted guide to growing has been brightening the rather gloomy days. (Review copy. Not paid.)

A glimpse into the horticultural journey of Lady Muck, a fictional character by writer Catherine Saunders, it nonetheless offers sound practical advice.

I have a small balcony and been growing various vegetables in pots and bags.

This year, I'm cutting back before selling the apartment later. So I just growing some leafy vegetables, leak, garlic and strawberries.

Sadly I've seen a lot of them disappear and I've been unable to find any snails or slugs until today when I picked up a few leaves from a lettuce to make sandwiches..

And theryit was, the little slug hidden between the leaves waiting to get hungry and eating up one of my last remaining lettuce.

I have no idea how to get rid of them.
