Climate change research tells us the world is getting warmer. And the annual Met Office climate report says the UK is follow that trend, but did you know it’s also getting wetter and sunnier? In theory, that should be helping UK vegetable growers (for now anyway 😓 ) by extending vegetable growing season! Do you track local temps and frost dates? Have you changed your planting schedule to make the most of the changing climate? #gardening #VegPlotter #gardenplanning #climatechange

Start your celery in the cooler temps of early spring for best results, after frosts. In about 14 weeks later, you're set for harvest. Celery is fantastic for 'pick-as-you-go' gardening, letting you enjoy fresh stalks while the plant keeps growing. #GardenGrowers #EcoFriendlyEats

Spring is definitely in the air today! 🌱 Caught some photos of a bumble bee investigating the newly arisen snowdrops at the allotment. The beauty of nature never ceases to amaze. #allotmentlife #bumblebee #snowdrops

These rivers have all tested +ve for thiamethoxam since 2020 (data from Env Agency). This neonicotinoid was banned in Europe in 2018, but is allowed on sugar beet crops in UK. That is its only authorised use. Yet it is turning up in rivers all over the place... Hugely concerning.

Yep! that is it, summarised in a tweet! Perfect example of the upward spiral gardening creates. On top of that your body gets more of the nutrients and exercise it needs to better heal body and mind.

Has anyone grown passion fruit in the UK? I saw some on a recent walk and was amazed. I thought it was a tropical fruit. These were outside and thriving. #foraging #vegetablegardening #gardenhelp #allotmentgarden

Time to spice it up with something different! With an abundance of tomatoes, we are making green tomato, chilli & ginger chutney. Looking forward to this on Boxing Day with the cheese board.
