Summer is well past it but we did manage to get our first Ripe Passionfruit ❤️ woohoo! A new blog post is up! A review of our first summer with the Polytunnel. We were able to grow a whole new load of crops thanks to our wonderful new environment. Follow the link below for a little look inside.. https://homegrownandhopeful.co.uk/2019/11/17/first-summer-in-the-polytunnel/ #polytunnellife #growinginthesouthofengland #organicgardening #grownfromseed #growyourown #growyourownfood #sustainableliving #vegetablegarden #passionfruit

Tomato seed saving 🍁🍅💚 Can you guess which seed belongs to which tomato?! We've got roma plum, orange banana plum, big fat juicy salad, super sweet cherry red and lemonade! These seeds will stay inside the jar for 3 days before I rinse them from their jelly like embryo and dry them out. I collect all these mini jam jars from my local pub and find them to be rather cute seed containers! #seedsaving #tomato #growyourownfood #grownfromseed #growyourown #organicgarden #zerowaste #sustainableliving #autumncolours #organicgardening #homegrown #vegetablegarden

Sweetcorn kernal saving! 🌾🌾🌾 We picked a selection of cobs from summer harvest and dried them out in the garage for several months. Some of them got a bit of mould so we discarded them and this was the result! This variety is called double yellow and we love it!!! #seedsaving #organicgardening #sustainableliving #growyourown #growyourownfood #vegetablegarden #homegrown

New blog post covering my experience of growing Summer Hanging Baskets for our local pub, from start to end results! 🌱🍁 https://homegrownandhopeful.co.uk/2019/10/24/growing-summer-hanging-baskets/ #summerhangingbaskets #growingfromseed #growinginthesouthofengland #homegrown

Three little mushrooms enjoying the view 😊 Swipe right to see some we found growing in the field! Another reason to love Autumn 🍁 We didn't eat them 🏴‍☠️ #mushrooms #fungi #autumngarden

Our first 'cut flowers' bed is one of my favourite spots to sit ❤️ If stored correctly, those Helichrysum will keep their shape and colour indefinitely! The Dahlias all grown from last years seed and provide a great range of shape and colour well into autumn 🌱🍁 The boys decided to incorporate a bench into the raised bed which was a fab idea! #cutflowers #grownfromseed #organicgardener #growyourown #mygardentoday #gardenideas
