Gardening with a baby: I’m back!

Allotment, 6 Comments

We’re getting there! 🥳 Knocking down some walls in this house has always been on our to-do list, and in all honesty I can’t believe we’re finally here. It has been a joy throwing open the doors this afternoon and watching Arlo play happily on the decking. We’re still waiting for the worktop to come, the electrician needs to come back for the lighting and the toilet needs fixing - but the space has made me toe-scrunchingly happy. Next project, sort the garden borders and pots out… aka the really fun bit 😂

Little hands reaching for all the fruit. A wise man once told me that fruit was harder to grow than vegetables. However I’ve always found it the easiest - as long as you find a way to protect fruit bushes I’ve found they don’t need regular watering - I just prune and mulch. The pop-up laundry bins have worked a treat over the bins we salvaged and we appear to have beaten the pigeons 🤞🏻. Yes, they’re not the most attractive things - but we’ve got a good haul of fruit and that’s what matters! Once we’ve harvested the berries I’ll take the laundry bags down and store for next year. Overall, a success 🥳

Absolute slackers 😉 #chickensofinstagram

Ad. I’m really rather proud of my dad - his determination and positivity inspire me every day. As a family we joke he loves his walking companion Monty the spaniel more than us, but in truth we just love hearing about their adventures together. 🐾 So what better gift for Father’s Day than more adventures! When @ordnancesurvey got in touch about their Custom Made Maps I couldn’t think of a better present. You pick your location, then personalise with a photo and text. We love a map in this family - perfect for anyone who wants to remember a special place or just explore the outdoors. 🗺 You can get 15% off this week with the code RACHEL15 until 19th June - just follow the link in my stories or search OS Custom Made Maps to make your own. #OSCustomMade #RoamFree #FathersDay

The house, garden and allotment all feel very chaotic currently. Plants by the back door swapped for bags of cement. But no one told the flowers about the chaos, and they’re just doing their thing looking utterly beautiful 💕.
