  1. Spring is the perfect time to forage wild garlic! Its tender leaves are bursting with flavour—ideal for making garlic butter (freeze it for later) or a punchy pesto. A seasonal treat that brings the wild into your kitchen! #foraging #wildgarlic #springrecipes #gardenchat

  2. Nasturtiums are easy to grow and totally edible—flowers, leaves, and seeds! 🌼🌿 Plant in full sun, poor soil, and water sparingly. Pick blooms when fully open for the best flavor—peppery like rocket. Toss into salads, stuff with cream cheese, or use as a vibrant garnish. #edibleflowers #gardenchat

  3. Courgette flowers are edible and delicious! 🌼 Grow them in rich soil with plenty of sun. Pick male flowers (no fruit behind) early in the morning when open. Stuff with ricotta, batter & fry, or toss raw into salads for a delicate treat. A short-lived beauty—harvest before they wilt! #gardenchat

  5. Sunshade companions: Sow turnips beside tall crops like peas, runner beans, sweetcorn, or tomatoes. Their shade keeps turnips cool and tender—no woody roots! Another tip: keep soil moist with mulch to help retain water and suppress weeds. Healthy roots = tastier harvests! #gardenchat #growyourown

  6. I've been going through the press releases, scribbled notes and photos from the recent Garden Press Event. This rather lovely new clematis was just one of the things I saw.

  7. While I love the pretty pastel colours of sweet peas, I do think they need something darker to set them off. ‘Black Prince.’ Is doing the job beautifully.

    This is the first proper vase of sweet peas of the season.

    I don’t sow until January so they’re always a little later but this year they sulked in the cold spring.

  12. Blooming coral bells. I would love to see a picture of a hummingbird visiting these flowers. The flowers have been most accommodating. #Wisconsin #Mazomanie #GardenChat
