I’m Rachel. I grow vegetables and love chickens.

➡️A little while ago the lovely Tamara @therooapron sent me one to try out on the plot, and I absolutely love it! I can store a lot in that pouch while I’m harvesting, and I find it really handy when weeding. I haven’t tried a chicken in it yet, but my guess is Debs would probably enjoy coming along for the ride 😂 thank you! #gifted #gardenblogger allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentlove #homegrown #homegrownveggies #gardenblogger #selfsufficient #knowwhereyourfoodcomesfrom #growfoodnotlawns #gyo #growyourown #growyourownfood #grownfromseed #homesteading #thehappygardeninglife #gardenlover #veggiepatch #gardeninglife #myhappyplace #livethesimplelife #thegoodlife #gardengirls

Alright let’s just talk about borlotti beans for a second. It’s my first year growing them. How did I not know how pretty they are?! Next year they’re climbing up something prominent, because they’re demanding attention and I want to indulge them. SO PINK! There must be a lipstick to match them 💁🏼‍♀️ #beans #borlotti #pinkpinkpink #lipstickjunkie #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentlove #homegrown #homegrownveggies #gardenblogger #selfsufficient #knowwhereyourfoodcomesfrom #growfoodnotlawns #gyo #growyourown #growyourownfood #grownfromseed #homesteading #thehappygardeninglife #veggiepatch #gardeninglife

Raspberries - they just keep coming, thick and fast this year. Lots of people have asked about the yellow ones, and we have a mixture of the two colours. The yellow are easier to grow as I’ve found the birds leave them alone as they don’t think they’re ripe, where as the red ones need netting. Not that I’m complaining. I could eat raspberries until they come out of my ears - and seemingly am! It’s always nice to have an abundance of something. #raspberries #raspberry #freshfruit #homegrownfruit #summer #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentlove #homegrown #homegrownveggies #gardenblogger #selfsufficient #knowwhereyourfoodcomesfrom #growfoodnotlawns #gyo #growyourown #growyourownfood #grownfromseed #homesteading #thehappygardeninglife #veggiepatch #gardeninglife

This morning I woke up to an amazing 15k of you sharing our little good life adventures, and felt it was time for a reintroduction! I’m Rachel, and together with ‘Him Outdoors’ (otherwise called Tom) who I’m lucky to be marrying next month, we’re privileged to have a family of feathers and fur. Dylan, our spaniel, who is good friends with our two ex-commercial hens - Debs and Ginger. We love gardening. We’re well and truly hooked. And we’re lucky to have a little allotment to grow food, and a back garden to grow flowers for the butterflies and bees. We set up this account to document our goals - to be proud when the squash was flourishing and to find laughter when the arch they were growing up collapsed in the storm. Because this little community is the bees’ knees - and I’m really enjoying sharing our garden adventures with you. So thank you. I really appreciate you all coming along for the ride 💛 #myhappyplace #livethesimplelife #thegoodlife #nicetomeetyou #allotmentlove #allotmentlife #allotment #spanielsofinstagram #chickensofinstagram #chickensaspets #rescuechickens #gardenlover #gardengram #gardenblog #gardenlife #thehappygardeninglife #gardening #garden #getoutside #ourfamily #animalfamily #happinessis #livethelifeyoulove #15k

This evening we popped down to the allotment to pick some sweetcorn for supper and raspberries for breakfast, along with 27293 beans and patty pans because that’s summer life. Ahead of #nationalallotmentweek I’ve been thinking about how our little space is a way of life, not just a patch of land. Anyone else feel that way? 💛 #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentlove #homegrown #homegrownveggies #gardenblogger #selfsufficient #knowwhereyourfoodcomesfrom #growfoodnotlawns #gyo #growyourown #growyourownfood #grownfromseed #homesteading #thehappygardeninglife #gardenlover #veggiepatch #gardeninglife #myhappyplace #livethesimplelife #thegoodlife #gardengirls #gardenblogger
