The Harvest Season! 🍓

Hello Everyone 👋,

This year we have seen some lovely warm weather throughout the UK!

In the UK, the harvesting season is usually seen in July to as late as October. I thought this would be a wonderful time for anyone with a passion in gardening to share their thoughts! 🍅

• What have you planted this year?
• What variation of plants do you currently have in your garden?
• Have you harvested any plants? What were you able to harvest this year?
• Are you planning on or preparing to plant anything new for autumn or next year?
• Do you have any great gardening tips?
• Which is your favourite plant in your garden?

This year I have seen a nice harvest of some Greengages, Raspberries and Lavender! ✨

Are you working towards your contribution to a Sustainable Future? Do you have any pollinator-friendly flowers? 🪻

My favourite plant in the garden, and one that has bloomed very suddenly! Is my White Roses 🌹

I am also very much looking forward to the 2024 Harvest Moon which should take place on September 18th 2024 and preparing for my favourite time of year, Autumn! 🍂

I would love to see and hear about all of your harvests this year and your wonderful gardening tips!

I think my next challenge will be a pumpkin patch 👀 🎃

I've planted potatoes, blueberries, and both an orange and a lemon plant that I've managed to grow from pips. The orange and lemon are in pots and will have to come indoors once the frosts are forecast.

I have quite a variety of plants in my garden: Roses; fuchsias; a blue iris; two Acers; conifers; hydrangeas; lavender; various bedding plants; a small apple tree; two holly bushes; my potatoes and blueberries; and two rowan trees that I've grown from berries.

I've harvested my potatoes and got quite a good crop, but there are no berries on the blueberries yet, and the jackdaws raided the apples just as they were forming nicely.

I'll be planting some spring bulbs such as daffodils and snowdrops fairly soon.

Tips; Keep everything well watered and feed plants regularly with plant food, and spray roses with something like Roseclear to keep them free of bugs and diseases.

My favourite plants are my roses, I planted some of them in honour of family and loved ones, and also in memory of lost loved ones. I even have a Freddie Mercury one, in memory of my favourite singer. Here's a picture of 'Freddie':




Have a lovely evening.😃
