Julie's Kitchen Garden and Allotment - UK 2025

My 2024 topic was last updated in May… I’ll try to do better this year.
Thankfully my gardening and seed saving was more successful! :rofl:

For the first time, I’m starting the majority of crops with a portion of my own seeds, which is very exciting.
I was surprised to have several onions and leeks showing perennial potential (they flowered last year and are sprouting again this spring).
On top of the “expected” allotment crops, I’m trying out as many grains/pseudo grains I could get my hands on. More for fun/ornamental value than food but I’m curious to see how they grow.

The seed library is also going well. I’ve decided to be brave and a bigger scale seed share project is taking shape.

The March/April beds are taking off at the allotment.





I need to remember that the grains I planted are not grass weeds! :rofl:

Some surprise celery and fennel plants in several places. Some of the fennel is on its 3rd season.
I’m going to let them go to seed (not saying no to plants that have proven their worth!)
