Welcome!

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

On the home 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.

The shop page shows some of the items that are for sale in my Etsy shop. You can click on the link on that page, or the orange Etsy badge below, to visit the shop.

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, shop and journal.

We took a chance in planting the first of our potatoes yesterday evening, as the weather was so lovely. I say ‘we’ - the most I did was take this photo 😅. These are Ratte which I’ve not tried before. Looking forward to harvesting them already. I wasn’t completely idle, I sowed a row of carrot seed and spring onions, did a bit of hoeing, and made a start on pulling out some of the kale. Some of it is about to flower (which I’ll leave for the bees) but mostly it’s been demolished by the pigeons. It’s just so nice to be pottering around the plot of an evening. 🌤🌱🥔

First bunch of spring onions of the year. They were sown last autumn sometime, I can’t remember exactly, but they’ve been in the ground all winter. Amazing they’ve survived. I love them stirred into scrambled eggs with a bit of cheese. 😋

Desperate to get these beauties in the ground. Had planned it for today, but then life and the weather had other plans 😏. Hopefully we’ll get down there a couple of evenings this week, the weather looks much more promising in the days ahead. Have you planted your spuds yet? 🥔🥔🥔 #potatoeschitting #allotmentuk #sprouting #veggardening #growyourownfood

Competition giveaway.

Tomato babies, keeping warm inside, well away from the snow and frost out there 🥶. They’re tiny yet compared to some people’s, but that’s okay, it’s not a race and I don’t have the luxury of a greenhouse to grow them in, so they can take their sweet time while the weather sorts itself out.

Forced rhubarb - one of nature’s more colourful offerings. 💖
