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.

I almost missed my first #tomatotuesday 😁🍅 this is where mine are at. I’m so looking forward to seeing these babies grow up big and fat. 😋

The bottom end of my plot is looking pretty and full of buzzing bees. Beautiful white foxgloves, masses of blue cornflowers, hardy pink geranium under the fruit trees, and bright orange Californian poppies. Bliss. 🐝 🐝 🐝

May on the allotment and May wildflowers. How we’re zooming through June already! Scroll across to see full pages.

Four and a half jars of rhubarb and orange jam - marmalade? It’s somewhere between the two - jamalade? The half jar will go straight into the fridge once it cools down to be used up first. Looking forward to a dollop on my morning oats and yoghurt. 😋 #preserves #homemadejam #jammaking #rhubarbjam #plottopantry

The plot is finally starting to take shape. We planted the final sweet peppers and sweetcorn today, along with a few sunflowers. Just got a few brassicas and leeks to plant sometime in the next couple of weeks. It’s getting close to that point where the garlic and over wintered onions are ready to lift, but I don’t want to because the plot is full and looks great. 😂

My lettuce are a bit hit and miss this year. They were all thriving in May when we had all that rain. Now some look like this, and then some (see pic 2) look more like this - which is frankly how I feel in this hot weather! I have been watering them, but some just haven’t adapted to the sudden change in temperature. A good excuse to get sowing some more seeds! How’s everyone else doing with lettuce?
