“Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon”

@growingalotti

750L of Organic Garden Topsoil, blended with sand and compost. Full of nutrients, organic matter and humus. Two of my raised veg beds needed topping up and the sand content in this soil will help carrots (bonus). The cut flower border we newly dug last year, needing raising up a little (remember the mud bath when planting tulips) and also this soil will help lighten the clay. I am aching head to toe today!! But I still have some more to move today....💪🏻 #topsoil #earthcycle #earth #soil #soilhealth #gardening #girlsthatlift #compost #vegplot #vegbeds #raisedgardenbeds #gyo #mygarden

The Stellata is setting seed, meanwhile the Soulangeana is taking centre stage 💗 #magnolia #seasonalflowers #magnificent #pink #flowerpower #flowers #wednesday #beautiful #april

This is Panicum violaceum (Violet Millet), which according to Sarah Raven provides a feast for blue tits and goldfinches through the autumn after it has looked wonderful all summer 🐦. So glad I ordered these seeds weeks ago as the shop has sold out (!). They have been germinating inside on a windowsill and they are now inside the greenhouse. I will prick them out shortly. #violetmillet #birdfood #gardening #cutflowers #cutflowergarden #mygarden #lottisgreenhouse #sarahravenseeds #sarahraven

Little sowing session today. Last year I tried to grow these (Rhodochiton) but didn't even get them to germinate. Mainly because they need heat, and I didn't give it any 🤦🏼‍♀️. Now I have my windowsill propagator I'm going to try again. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 #sarahravenseeds #sowseeds #gardening #sundayfunday #lottispottingbench #gyo

That look on your face when gardening with your babies 😂. The littlest baby had a marathon of a nap today, so the hubby, Jack and I managed to get more done than I had planned (which is never really a plan at all). All the evidence is on stories... #getoutside #getkidsgardening #growyourown #potatoes #tomatoes #dahlias #sarahraven #familytime #mummylife #mygarden #gardening

Isn't that a wonderful sight... #onions #lottisgreenhouse #onionsets #gyo #gardening #thursdayvibes

Dreaming of #homegrown carrots!! So far I have direct sown - Amsterdam Forcing 3, under fleece. I am still waiting, not so patiently, for them to germinate. So, whilst I have no signs of life to share with you, here are some Flyaway from last year. 🥕 🥕 🥕 #carrots #vegetables #gyo #gardening #vegplot #kitchengarden #backgardenplot #mygarden #freshproduce #knowwhereyourfoodcomesfrom #tasty #growyourown #foodie

I see colour!! Anyone else ridiculously excited to see their tulips?!!! #tulips

What did your first ever harvest look like? This is mine, from last year (2019) and @diaryofaladygardener probably for that reason my favourite photo from last summer too. I lifted a few carrots early because I couldn't help myself. I can't wait to see how this compares to 2020. #harvest #gyo #gardening #gardener
