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.

A bunch of classic golden daffodils from the allotment. I’d never pick them from the garden, but happy to gather these from the plot to brighten the house up. Simple pleasures are so valuable right now.

We woke up to thick freezing fog this morning and quickly reconsidered our planned trip to the allotment. So we took the dog for a walk along the river and then decided to pass by the allotment in our way home ‘just to check it’. By the time we got there the sun had broken through and warmed us up. Before you know it, coats were shedded, hoes dug out of the shed, and an hour later we’d weeded half the plot. It felt really good to make a start. This is perpetual spinach which has been growing since last autumn. It looks a bit better for a trim and tidy-up (see ‘before’ pic 2) and there’s lot of new growth which should keep us going until it starts to flower in the summer. Once it flowers I’ll let the bees do their job, allow the seed heads to form and dry, and then start again in autumn.

Ways to use up one enormous cabbage. Welcome to my exciting #lockdownlife 😜 and as if I wasn’t going crazy enough, drawing the inside of a cabbage drove me proper loopy! 🥬 Here’s hoping I can start drawing some flowers again soon.

I have a plan, the weather has warmed up, my first seeds have started to germinate, and now I can't wait to get going.

How gorgeous is this Moss? As well as lichen, I’m a member of the moss appreciation society too. It’s like a bright velvety carpet growing over the wall. No filter used.

A study of lichen.
