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.

Today’s harvest ... Charlotte potatoes, 4 courgettes, a bunch of beetroot, cucumbers (3 here, another 6 left behind in the shed because I couldn’t carry them all home, all from 1 plant 🤣) the first couple of ripe tomatoes 🍅🥳 and the first few curly wurly green chillies (variety Aci Kil from @seaspringseeds).

The leeks have been given a second dosing of the fruit and vegetables biostimulant from @themagicmoleculeco. So far they seem to be holding their own against the current heatwave, and are growing well. It’s hard to believe these tiny wisps of green will be fat leeks by winter.

This is my squash bed believe it or not. The nasturtiums have gone a bit crazy (all self seeded) and there’s also self seeded cosmos that I can’t bring myself to pull out. 🙄☺️

Some pictures from the plot on a sunny Friday afternoon.

First bunch of dahlias from the plot. I almost didn’t want to pick them, but the more you pick the more they flower, and I can appreciate them more on my windowsill. ☺️ #dahlias #allotmentflowers #growyourownflowers #homegrowncutflowers

The courgette and cucumber gluts are well under way. It wouldn’t be summer without them. Just for a bit of balance - I’ve also had a few baby courgettes gone rotten and the flowers are covered in black fly (which is a new one for me) but they’re still producing fine so I’m not going to worry.
