Welcome to Zoe’s Garden Prints!

I'm a designer and illustrator who is passionate about gardening and in particular growing fruit and vegetables on my allotment.

The gallery of pictures on the home page show items that are currently for sale in my Etsy shop. You can click on the link on that page, or the orange Etsy badge where you see it.

On the blog page, you can read about my allotment. There are posts about what and how I grow, how I combat pests and diseases, and how I store and preserve my harvests, along with as many photos as possible.

I also keep a little journal where I practice my drawing skills by documenting my allotment journey in ink and watercolours.

You can also follow me on Instagram and Twitter under the account @zoes_garden for more regular updates on my plot and prints.

A beautiful autumn day picking quinces. These are from a friends tree, a bagful for cake and membrillo. 😋Such a beautiful fruit. #quince #quinceharvest #fruitofeden #naturesbounty #golden #autumncolors #livingthegoodlife Lazy housewife beans. First year I've grown these and yet to taste them. Thinking about adding them to a leek soup, but I'd welcome any other recipe recommendations. Anyone else grown or growing these? I've harvested them a bit early because the wigwam had toppled over and was in danger of falling into my neighbours plot 😨 hence some of the beans are still small. #lazyhousewifebeans #allotment #beanfeast #growsomethinggreen Turns out the remainders aren't as blighted as I'd thought, only 1 plant had it bad, but there's plenty that are still fine. Not sure if they'll all ripen though, might try some fried green tomatoes - trying to avoid making too much chutney this year. Any other suggestions? #greentomatoes #tomatoharvest #homegrown #allotment Spent yesterday evening preserving. The allotment grown blackberries and apples (a few of them) were turned into jelly (seedless jam) and 2kg of tomatoes turned into ketchup. I'm not a big fan of commercial ketchup, but this is a world away. Down to a bowlful of tomatoes now, some seeds have been washed and stored in the fridge for next year. Heading to the plot now to pull out what remains of the now blighted plants. #livingthegoodlife #homegrown #allotmentplot #allotmentgrown #preserves #applesandblackberries #tomatoketchup #jam Borlotti beans and sage. I don't know why these go together so well but they do. I don't use my sage enough, so good to make use of it. Trying out a recipe from the Delicious mag website. #borlottibeans #sage #allotmentlife #allotmentgrown #beans #colourful #allotmentcooking #plottoplate #gyo New additions to the shop. A couple more harvest bags (update: now sold, sorry) and as requested by a customer, pumpkin is now available on the jam & chutney labels. #etsy #allotment #harvestbag #jamlabels #idigmyallotment #allotmentharvest
