Garden Project | Ideas For This Year

Welcome back to garden projects! Last year I wrote a post of a few things I was going to be growing in my garden and some projects I wanted to do once our patio was built and in the end the patio never got built.

But this year I'm not going to let this stop me, I'm going persist any way and grow, grow, grow... I hope.

Last year I grow some strawberries, potatoes, also I began to grow a pineapple and if you follow me on instgram you will have seen Penelope (the pineapple) growing away in my kitchen read to plant outside when the weather is better.

As you know I am into making smoothies so I want to grow some spinach and kale, as well as a herb garden because I love trying new flavours in my food. Strawberries and potatoes will obviously be making an appearance again. Hopefully I want to try to grow some other berry bushes which I have never grown before so I'm not expecting a high yield.

Im not being stupidly ambitious because I'm heading off to university this year so I can't afford to be spending all my money on the garden when I have so much more things to buy.

I love to grow my own fruit and vegetables because it is so satisfying to see the progress as well as using them in my own recipes, it can save money but also I know what is going into my food if I have grown it.

I hope I can inspire you to begin to grow your own, so stick with my guys


Thanks for reading, I will be keeping you updated.

Garden Projects

Since I was a little girl my nan has always had a garden filled with all different kinds of plants, and has taught me a few things as I've grown up, then my dad left it to me to look after our gardens. This year I am mainly growing strawberries and potato's, this is because, they are easy to grow, we always need potato's and I'm hoping to use the strawberries in so summer recipes in a few months also we are having a new patio laid down so the garden is too messy to have anything else.

But I have been looking to do some small, fun garden projects, to hopefully help me in the garden, make it look more colourful and also try and get my young nephew interested in growing plants and vegetables and hopefully teach him a few things.

I will be keeping my blog updated with any projects I do and also any, recipes I make that involves any of the plants I'm growing in the garden.
