Day 25 is #preserves so I am having a flashback to earlier in the summer when I made strawberry and rhubarb jam. It's my favourite - the sharpness of the rhubarb cuts through the sweetness of the strawberries and it tastes like summer all year round. Well, if it lasts that long... . . #newsimplelife #mymonthontheplot #growyourown #growingfood #growingfruit #softfruit #homegrown #happygardener #gardeninghashtagchallenge #dailyprompts #jam #strawberries #homemadejam #homeallotment #homemade #madewithlove #tasteofsummer
Day 24 is "Best cropper". It was a close call with the beetroot but I am going for he onions. Hopefully this basket will see us through the autumn at least. . . #newsimplelife #mymonthontheplot #growyourown #growingvegetables #gyo #kitchengarden #homeallotment #homegrown #happygardener #gardeninghashtagchallenge #mygardentoday #lovetogarden #dailyprompts #instachallenge #instagarden #onions #growingfood #noairmiles #eatwhatyougrow #eatwell #vegplot #gardenplot
Can I go back to the #smug day? The Calamity Cat is looking very pleased with herself today - "I grew all this myself, you know!" . . #newsimplelife #mymonthontheplot #growyourown #growingvegetables #gyo #kitchengarden #homeallotment #homegrown #happygardener #gardeninghashtagchallenge #mygardentoday #lovetogarden #dailyprompts #instachallenge #growingveggies #eatwell #vegplot #gardenplot #eatwhatyougrow #noairmiles #rescuecat #catsprotection #catsofinstagram #greyandwhitecat #greyandwhitecatsofinstagram #oldcat #happycat
Day 23 - #tryit We have never grown purple peppers before but thought we would give it a go. Aren't they beautiful? . . #newsimplelife #gyo #growyourown #kitchengarden #homeallotment #homegrown #happygardener #gardeninghashtagchallenge #mygardentoday #lovetogarden #dailyprompts #instachallenge #greenhousegrown #growingveggies #eatwell #vegplot #gardenplot #eatwhatyougrow #noairmiles
Where did the last few days go?? Day 21 was #smug and we are very smug about having so much fresh fruit this year. This is the first time the eating apples have been a success since we moved here. And then Day 22 was #rainbow I totally forgot tonight when I made a rainbow risotto with peas, bread beans, cherry tomatoes, chillies and golden beetroot to take a pic so the fruit will have to count for that day too! . . #newsimplelife #mymonthontheplot #growyourown #growingfood #growingfruit #softfruit #homegrown #happygardener #gardeninghashtagchallenge #mygardentoday #lovetogarden #homeallotment #dailyprompts #harvest #apples #plums #raspberries
Day 20 - don't bother ... growing beans in a shallow container really intended for sweet peas. This was the total of our harvest . . #newsimplelife #mymonthontheplot #growyourown #growingvegetables #gyo #kitchengarden #homeallotment #homegrown #happygardener #gardeninghashtagchallenge #mygardentoday #lovetogarden #dailyprompts #instachallenge #beans
