My first flower! 🌸So pretty but these Cosmos have been reluctant to bloom till now. I sowed the seeds indoors in spring and then planted them out in late spring, with lots of lush foliage all summer long. @swancottageflowers Think these need to have their flower buds forming before they are planted out in the ground? 🤔🌸💚 One of my learning points this summer @4_muddy_boots @lousous

My summer harvested onions going straight to the kitchen this evening! A sunny end to the day here as I fetch these beauties from the garage! Nasturtiums still going strong in the background. 😊🙌🏼💚I store all the onions i harvested and dried in my cool garage as they keep well in there. 😉

Looking adorable on a sunny Tuesday! These aubergines are growing in a pot on my patio and seem to be soldiering on this autumn. Grown from seeds early in the year, they slowed down during the cool early summer weeks but bouncing back now .. looking forward to tasting these! 😊🙌🏼💜

Sweet basil! Time to harvest the tops again: I harvest by snipping the stem just above a node where there are little leaf buds appearing (swipe to see). This allows the plant to become bushier because each of these ‘leaf bud’ will grow into another branch. That will give lots more basil! 😊🙌🏼🌿These basil plants have been grown from seeds sown in spring and are still going strong on my kitchen windowsill. Choose a location that is warm and bright when you’re growing sweet basil indoors! 💚

More of these to spice up my autumn! Loving these chilli harvests. I pick green chillies as I love to add them to my meals for a lovely flavour rather than all the heat. The riper chillies on the other hand are great for turning the heat levels up. Hope your chillies are supplying your kitchen too! 😊🙌🏼🌶

Pak Choi seedlings! All transplanted to this tray for growing on. Pak choi love the cooler temperatures and grow very well in autumn and early spring. Love watching these grow! 😊🌱🙌🏼They are also very quick growing so sprinkle a few seeds today, if you have somewhere sheltered or in a cool porch. More on my blog if you’d like to read more, link in my bio! 🙌🏼💚
