🌱Keeping The Plot

Growing flowers and food. Excitable about compost and soil. Learning to stay balanced and grounded in a hectic world. ADHD, anxiety, mental health.

The allotment in lovely sunshine today :) Lots to do over the next 4-8 weeks to get every bed full to bursting with lovely veggies and flowers....

I don’t know what sort of tulips these are but they are huge, bright pink, ridiculous and wonderful and I love them ❤️

Update: the first monstera seeds have germinated! 💃🏻🕺🏻❤️💚🌱

Home-grown Monstera, step 1*: sowing the seeds….

*Might be a while before the next step - the packet says germination will take 3-4 months🤞🤞🤞

Love how everything just seems a bit more zingy and full of life after a spring shower 💚

@earthgarden5 Thanks! :)

May for me is all about the absolute soul-lifting loveliness of planting out plants grown from seed - this is tagetes burning ember, to accompany the tomato plants on the allotment, and honesty sown and planted last year to flower now 💚 #GardensHour

@SophieKBoxall Thanks, I will give that a go :)

[🌱Keeping The Plot @KeepingThePlot]

@SophieKBoxall Did you find it difficult to get work as a newbie?

[🌱Keeping The Plot @KeepingThePlot]

@SophieKBoxall Thanks - I would love to make the switch after my current role is done (I’m working on a project, my role will be done by 2025….), seeing that you’ve done it makes me think it might just be possible!

[🌱Keeping The Plot @KeepingThePlot]

@SophiFrost Thanks! Me too, I love them and really need to stop adding more! 😂😍

Spent most of the bank holiday weekend in the garden and on the allotment - it was so lovely to be outside all day every day! 💚 #gardening #GardensHour

[🌱Keeping The Plot @KeepingThePlot]

@marktheman2010 Yes, very much so - I tend to use the collars for plants I’ve just planted out to give them a fighting chance during the first couple of weeks when they don’t grow much and can otherwise just disappear overnight

[🌱Keeping The Plot @KeepingThePlot]

@SophieKBoxall @GardensHour @ThisisDavina Hello Sophie :) Please can I ask, how did you make the switch to gardening as a profession?

[🌱Keeping The Plot @KeepingThePlot]

@Em_Evergreen That looks magical 💚

[🌱Keeping The Plot @KeepingThePlot]

@marktheman2010 Me too :)
