Everything I'm growing for 2021

Everything I'm growing for 2021.jpeg

So, I asked over on my gardening Instagram if you wanted to see what I am growing this year. It was a resounding yes, so thank you for indulging me. It’s also a great way for me to look back next year. I made notes of things I didn’t like last year and adapted and added in more things for production. I feel the more you grow, the more you realise that growing more of what you love to eat is so important. So this year I will be growing a lot more carrots, potatoes, onions and tomatoes. I’m also growing a few things for the first time, like garlic and aubergines.

I just know that listing all of these things is going to make me hyperventilate at the amount of work it’ll take, but alas, here we go.
