This is an excellent book. It's got everything you need to know about growing fruit and vegetables, whether it be in your back garden or an allotment.

It goes through the months of the year, letting you know the best things to plant on that month and how to plant and care for it.

It's a reference book, so it's a valuable companion through the year to keep you right and learn new and better ways to plant, care for, and harvest your crops.

Crazeedi You can never have too many of these when you have a garden! 3mo

Despite it being the end of the school year I managed to read 20 books this month (15 were audiobooks). Best of the month was The Sweetheart List.

A while back I posted about my foray into growing veg. Needless to say it's been a success. Todays harvest for tea. Even got a funny carrot! 😂🥕

So a lot of my time has been taken up by all the planting and gardening I've been doing recently, as well as all the wedding planning. Here's some pics of my progress. Strawberries, Carrots in need of thinning out, a cherry tree, and lots of bedding flowers! I have loads more growing in the grow house and another veggie bed. I'm feeling a little green fingered...

tpixie How lovely! And you have a grow house!! 💚💚💚 5y

laurieluna @tpixie it's only a little thing, but I have convinced my partner to build me a big green house with how much I've done so far! I go out in my garden first thing on a morning and it's extremely therapeutic. 5y
laurieluna @Craftylikefox thanks 😊 5y
tpixie @laurenbescoby that‘s awesome!!! 5y
