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.

And talking of whoppers ... (see previous post). But then it wouldn't be a normal summer without at least one of these big boys. #courgette #allotmentlife #minimarrow #whopper #oversizedcourgette I've shown you my biggest onion, now here's my biggest (ever) potato. Weighing in at a whopping 875g, it's a mini meteor. Unfortunately not a big yield from the plants, but you can't have it both ways! Beetroot crisps. Slice your beetroot thinly (preferably with a sharp mandolin slicer) coat with oil, salt and a sprinkling of onion or garlic granules. Spread out on a baking tray and bake in a lowish oven until crisp. Simple, easy, delicious, healthy. #beetrootcrisps #beetroot I don't think I'd win any prizes, but I'm pretty pleased with the size of our maincrop onions this year. I just hope the size hasn't compromised the flavour. #onions #bigonion #homegrown #allotmentgrown I harvested a big basket full of Victoria plums yesterday evening. I gave some to a fellow allotment holder who I got chatting to, then came home and gave a load to 2 of my neighbours. Just about managed to save a few for myself! The tree is still laden with fruit that's not quite ripe yet, so I'll be jam-making soon. I wish everyday of summer could be like today. Bright and sunny, warm with a gentle breeze, big fluffy clouds. Pity I'm back at work, but at least I get to walk the dog during my lunch break. #englishsummer #englishsummertime #beautifulweathertoday #wheatfield #countrysidewalks #fluffyclouds #dailydogwalk
