Three tips on how to propagate common kitchen herbs

Snip a healthy stem, just above a node, and remove lower leaves.

Place the cutting in a glass of water.
Change the water every few days

Once the roots are 5cm long, transplate the cutting into a pot with well draining soil.

It's about time I started to learn to grow my own food. Starting small, and early with some crops that need to sprout in indoor conditions. Hope they'll do well!

Series of small containers in 2 by 6 trays combined in two 2 by 18 containers, filled with earth and little bags of seeds in front. The bags have images of strawberries, peppers and various sorts of cabbage.

Plants have been a comfort amid chaos over the last year. From starting seeds under a grow bulb, to growing berries and vegetables in containers, to overwintering a few indoors... #patiogarden #gardenphotography #gardening #photography #urbangardening #photo #garden #growityourself #backyardharvest

Plants have been a comfort amid chaos over the last year. From starting seeds under a grow bulb, to growing berries and vegetables in containers, to overwintering a few indoors to keep them going.... it's been a learning experience. I've enjoyed being in one place enough to tend to them and watch what makes them happy day to day.

These peppers were last summer's breakout success: seeds set aside from a CSA pepper the previous summer suddenly turned into four vigorous plants in a 4L container, and then in an 18L box. It was enough to enjoy 8 or so really nice red-green peppers before it slowed down in autumn.

What plants are you starting indoors this month?

#Gardens #Garlic #Scapes #GrowItYourself

My very own, first ever scapes from the six cloves of hard neck garlic I planted last november. It's just me that eats veggies, usually, so no vegetable garden here, except for this patch!

Wondering about recording all the food we eat that we have grown, foraged or harvested ourselves.
I did it a couple of years ago and found it was good to see how much we did provide for ourselves & was sometimes a reminder to check the freezer.
If you’re not interested -Feel free to mute #GrownForagedHarvested as I’ll try and remember to add it each time.

Allotment day! Good exercise this time of year if you don’t mind coming home smelling like you’ve been in a fire (I’ve been burning stuff too) #allotment #greenfinngers #growyourownfood #growityourself #bearswithallotments #bear #bearsofmastodon
