Can’t wait to get into this baby today!! A girl’s dream greenhouse 🩷🧡 Our spot is full of popping pinks - how amazing is the Dierama Pendulum? Lots of fluffy bummed chickens - their eggs are a complete spoil and the spring garden is taking off! It’s been a crazy busy design week stuck behind a computer. So can’t wait! The greenhouse’s irrigation was kind of installed yesterday, going to mess with it and see, and next I must fine tune air flow. I am so thankful to my hubby getting it done for me ❤️ Well I am off, happy Saturday gardening 🌱

Simple weekend harvest 🌱🥬💜 not complaining - broad beans, peas, spinach & cabbage. I see the dreaded bagrada bug has broken out in the garden and trying to take over the brassicas - typical spring problem. Will pull out any infested plants and the ones I want to protect like my cabbages and kale - will knock off the bugs into a bucket - a morning chore for the next week until under control. Will also keep a trap plant or 2 so they definitely leave my cabbages alone 😄 We love eating Chinese and what is Chinese without a home grown cabbage 😘

What a month! 🌎🌱❤️

We flew off to New York to visit a dear friend on Long Island, and Manhattan blew our minds. It’s an architect’s dream, and getting to understand the city and Central Park geographically was so cool. Naturally, I also came home with bunches of veggie and herb seeds.

And how cool is this pumpkin? 🎃 America is definitely getting ready for Halloween!

Back home, we were greeted by baby chicks, lambs, fresh eggs, and tomato seedlings dying to get into the ground. I planted them out just before the full moon and can already see how happy they are, stretching their roots into the earth.

And finally, the poppies are popping their exquisite colours 💓

It been a simple winter in our veg patch 🍋🍋‍🟩🫛🥦🥬 Still, totally rewarding. The self seeders doing their thing with me sowing here and there but mostly shuffling things around, building a new house on our spot and finally finding the time to build my greenhouse. Shew! It’s been a crazy year!! Completely weeded the garden from head to toe, changed the irrigation to suit my tomato beds and everywhere else, filled thick with compost, now sowing, planting & mulching. Getting ready for our expectant, hot summer, so mulching is huge! This past weekend we flew into Cape Town and just like that 🪄met my 🍅👸🏻 Jill Jill _organic veggie garden - completely love this platform. Jill is a true permaculturist - every nook and cranny is filled with a vegetable or an extraordinary flower. Instagram without A.I. don’t lie. Jill SO happy to have finally connected with you 🫶✨Otherwise my house looks like a greenhouse, but my tomatoes are up and now trying to harden them gently, and we have little lambs birthing, after all it’s spring time. Sending love and thinking of those dear people in Nepal 🙏🙏🙏❤️

It’s been a mild winter so far 🩵🌱 Have been taking it easy in the veggie garden that’s why you simply cannot help adore the self seeders like Red Mustard leaf, kale and lettuce with poppies coming up amongst them. A beautiful time of year with our stream trickling over and Heather in bloom - tiny fairy bells everywhere - farm walks with our dogs and friends are such a pleasure. Otherwise still harvesting Sugar Snap peas - THE best, still snacking on pecans, yet to cook up the Turks Turban pumpkin, pawpaws slowly growing larger, lots of lemons and harvesting dried beans - for both food and seed. A little bit of heaven 🧡 To my Northern Hemisphere Insta friends - you guys have been so on my mind - hope you’re all adapting to the hot weather ❤️

If you are wondering what veggies and herbs to sow and plant in July in South Africa - here's a list. Remember this is for an open pollinated vegetable garden. Love winter, and especially lettuce 🥬 you sow the seed in a good composted soil and they almost immediately pop up like weeds 😊

Afternoon haul of ginger 🫚🤎 We LOVE ginger, wish we could grow it abundantly down here on the Garden Route of SA, but it prefers a warm sub tropical climate. Going to enjoy these luscious rhizomes with our morning tonic. I will freeze most of them and grate - one way to preserve and not lose its bioactive compounds. Otherwise the chickens are laying lots of beautiful eggs again - they went through a lull, the onions have popped up happily, picked some sugar snap peas for our salad tonight - they are a treat, especially when they’re your very own ☺️ and there are plenty of baby finger bananas forming - they are continuously fed by our house’s grey water - a system that works perfectly 🍌🌱💪

It’s a pretty time of year.

🫛🍋🥬 Limes, lemons, sugar snap peas, beans, chilli’s and the last sweet peppers and guavadillas, growing amongst lettuce, spinach, growing brassicas and plenty of herbs - after all it is winter, and the leaf’s - love the cool season.

The aloes are spectacular, the bee’s are buzzing - have to share their splendour. V busy studying their thorn intel - yes every aloe has a different thorn colour variation 🤩
