Here's that justification you've been needing to buy that expensive gardening tool or greenhouse or fig tree, or what the hell, maybe all 3?

(Yes, I know figs aren't vegetables, but I'm not looking to buy a carrot tree, either)

Veggie-flation strikes, with a warning for grocery prices

No matter what the official data shows, consumers "feel" inflation when grocery prices rise.

Dodged the showers to get these in. It’s not been a bad year with the blackcurrant haul particularly good.

We need some sunshine to ripen the blueberries though.

Some of today's fruitful yield. I also picked tomatoes and blackberries. Last of the potatoes will be dug out next. The rose hips will be used to make syrup - a first for me! #growyourownfood #eatwhatyougrow #organicgardening #growwhatyoueat
Today's garden haul. It's been a tough year but we still have a lot to eat every day & even some to freeze. Here are lettuce, cilantro, nasturtiums, tomatoes, broccoli spears, mustard greens,arugula & anise hyssop flowers for the tea in the second pic.

There are lots of varieties of tomatoes available for you to grow and eat. Which one is your favourite? #tomatoes #gardening #organicgardening #growwhatyoueat
Picking veg today. Sweetcorn and potatoes. The sweetcorn will be cooked for dinner tonight and the rest frozen, while the potatoes will be put in dry store to be used in a few weeks. Both grown organically - no chemicals required! Easy to grow and rewarding with a good yield. #growyourown #growyourownfood #gardeninspiration #gardens #gardening #organicgardening #growwhatyoueat
I tried sowing some custard apple seeds. They have germinated! I have nine in total. Here’s hoping that they carry on growing 😊#gardening #organicgardening #growwhatyoueat
Busy in the garden today. Lots of seeds to sow and growing on. Cabbages, onions, celery and leeks doing well in the polytunnel. #growyourown #growyourownfood #gardeninspiration #gardens #gardening #organicgardening #growwhatyoueat
