22.01.2022 Gardening with kids can be a whole mixture of emotions. . It is so great to teach them and hear them talking about what their favourite veggies are, listen to them instructing you how or where to sow the seeds, to get them out in the fresh air, to check what is happening in the veggie patch and to educate them on all aspects of what it takes to grow your own and . . Depending on the age of your kids, can depend on how hands on they are (or how hands off you want them to be...). We have lost many a radish to the hands of a toddler - but that's all part of the fun and learning experience isn't it? . Not only is gardening with kids a great way for them to learn about whatever the plant you are directly involving them with - it's also a great way for them to learn about the seasons of the year in a practical sense Image: @hihal_hicoco See more

22.01.2022 Now it’s time to think like a seed . How fine should the soil around your seeds be? The bigger the seeds are, the more easily they’ll overcome obstacles like stones or chunks of organic matter. . Want to find out more about all things seeds and soil. Check out the blog (link in bio)

22.01.2022 Plant Tags. Being the seed lovers we are, we've seen a couple of different variations of plant tags. Love the creations that people come up with to label their sprouting babes. Milk cartons, all sorts of upcycled plastics, and this beauty - good old branches or twigs. ... What do you use as a plant tag? or do you have a really, really good memory Photo: @ingeslittlegarden

21.01.2022 Ok, you know we love hearing about your seed/s journey - what are some of your favourite recipes or meals that you use your fresh produce for? . Any salads with a twist? . Side note: How gorgeous is this salad image: @mistycreek.agroforestry

21.01.2022 Asters. Have you started your Asters yet? You better be quick - best time to sow is Spring, depending on your climate you may still have time to get some of these easy to grow beauties in the garden. Photo: @_tom_the_gardener_

21.01.2022 Any time is a good time for chives! One of the easiest, most delicious and versatile herbs you can grow For all those purple thumbs out there CHIVES are for you. Plant these little beauties in full sun or part shade, little water required and they will give you harvest after harvest. ... Image: @homegrownbackyard

20.01.2022 Did you know that ants are confused by peppermint. Ants are kind of like Hansel & Gretel, they leave a little chemical trail behind so that they can all follow each other - BUT - peppermint messes with the chemical. This can be used as a natural deterrent both in the garden and in the home.

18.01.2022 Sage. Did you know that this lovely herb has been around for thousands of years. . Historically it was seen as a medicinal plant, although modern science hasn't confirmed any medical benefits. . What this herb lacks in medicinal benefits, it makes up for in flavour (especially when roasted with Chicken). Sunday roasts here we come.

17.01.2022 Could not agree more. Don't know about you but we're kind of sad to say goodbye to the Spring crops, but oh so excited to say 'Hello' to the summer ones.

15.01.2022 I bet you thought the saying 'eating carrots helps your eyesight' was a old wives tale. NOPE. . Orange foods are high in carotenoids, including alpha-carotene and beta-carotene. The human body converts these into vitamin A, which is important for healthy skin, a strong immune system, and good eye health and vision. . Thank you to https://buff.ly/2cVapbJ for providing a rainbow of benefits to eating your veggies (and why each colour is good to include in your diet).... Image: @mybackyardharvest See more

12.01.2022 2020 has been a rollercoaster (to say the least) One positive that we have held onto is the extra time we're in the garden. Without the commute, needing a break from the screen or having extra energy due to a little sleep in we've found we're not the only ones who have embraced our extra garden time. ... We've even noticed a lot of great Instagram accounts that have been created to document gardens being born from COVID. Or new gardening habits and hacks stemming from our time in lockdown. What gardening habits have you found throughout COVID or ISO life? Image: @ginandgrease

11.01.2022 Confession: Corn is one of our most anticipated veggie crops this year, in particular this beauty - Anasazi Rainbow. Have you got your corn planted yet? What is your favourite variety?

09.01.2022 Asparagus. It's a tricky one, and a veggie where patience is the key. . If your new to gardening or want to know more about the in's and out's of growing Asparagus be sure to read the blog where Andrea resident horticulturist goes through the pros and cons of growing asparagus from seed. . "It only takes a year longer to get your first crop. Whether you grow from seeds or crowns, the first phase of asparagus growing is about patience." ... . Image: @daisy.farm.avoca See more

09.01.2022 The best way to get watering just right, is to check your seeds twice a day at first. You will notice that the soil’s surface is darker when damp, and while it’s showing this colour, it isn’t time to water just yet. Photo: @thevegetablegardeners

08.01.2022 Sounds like the perfect Saturday

07.01.2022 This is deep. I don't know about you, but I can feel the sadness of a garden with no sun and a life with no

06.01.2022 Are you a little heavy handed when it comes to watering your seeds? STOP One simple seed sowing tip - keep your seed where you planted it. Meaning, too much water can move the seed around, maybe it goes deeper into the soil or too close to the surface. Easy on the water. Photo: @the.backyard.patch

04.01.2022 The Flanders Red Poppy. Classic isn't it . Have you ever tried growing them? Depending on your climate (temperate = autumn, cool = spring) they can be sown direct and can create an amazing display of colourful flowers. . Image: @hord.co

03.01.2022 Creeping Thyme - Is Creeping Thyme edible? YES . Not only is it edible, this ground cover looks amazing as it sprawls in the garden or in pots. Like other thyme varieties the leaves are edible and fragrant. . Want to plant some? Now is the thyme to get your seeds. Get them started indoors and plant outside in spring when the last frost has passed.

03.01.2022 Don't know about you but Watermelons just remind us of summer. Ahhhh warm weather, ice creams and juicy watermelons. You know the kind you have to eat outside because the juice drips down your arm. Have you tried growing your own ? How big was your biggest one?

03.01.2022 Are you growing Zinnia's? A handy tip we recently unearthed - sow seeds in two to three weeks interval for continuous flower display.

03.01.2022 This quote resonates after our weekend in the garden - hope you had a good one

01.01.2022 Radishes are our go to recommendation for beginner veggie patches. They're easy to grow, they grow REALLY quickly, they are just a great all rounder really. . It's hard to go wrong with Radishes - PLUS the variety. Oh the variety . If you're new to the patch, it's hard to be patient and wait until the veggies are ready to harvest. ... . Enter another great thing about Radishes - they show when they are ready to be eaten. They poke their little heads out of the soil. When you can see the top portion of the veg, it's the best time to pick them - they should also (pending variety) measure a couple of centimetres. Simply pull them out and whack them in your meal or pickle them. See more
