This is one of the easiest ways to start growing food at home. Perfect if you’ve never grown anything before, and a great little winter project with kids too. Plant onions in soil and place them on a sunny windowsill, or grow them just in water, roots down in a small jar filled with water works just as well. In 2–3 weeks, you’ll have fresh onion greens you can use like spring onions, and they’ll keep regrowing after you cut them. Hope you give it a go, happy growing. #WindowsillGarden #GrowYourO

It’s time to dig up my dahlias and get them ready for winter! 🌸 I carefully lift the tubers out of the ground, then wash off all the soil so I can check for any damage. Once they’re clean, I let them dry completely, this step is really important to prevent rot. After that, I tuck them into a cardboard box with some paper to keep them safe and cozy. I’ll store them in a cool, dry place all winter, and they’ll be ready to bloom beautifully again next spring! #Dahlias #WinterPrep #GardeningTips #F

I love starting my early peas in gutters, they always do so well! Peas are my absolute favourite veg to grow, they are easy, reliable, and so satisfying to harvest. To start, just fill a length of gutter with compost, sow your pea seeds, and water lightly. Keep it somewhere sheltered, and in about 4–6 weeks your pea seedlings will be ready to slide out straight into the veg bed in perfect rows. I usually start mine in March and enjoy my first peas by the end of May, such a simple and rewarding w

Verbena is one of those plants that loves to self-seed, little plants pop up all over the garden, completely free! 💜 Instead of pulling them out, I gently dug this one up, potted it on, so it can grow strong before planting it again in a new spot. It’s such a simple way to save future blooms and make the most of what your garden is already giving you. Little rescues like this really do turn into big, gorgeous flowers later 🌸 #FreePlants #VerbenaBonariensis #SelfSeededPlants #GardenTips #Pottin

I always let my fresh grass clippings go straight onto my veggie beds. They’re free mulch that feeds the soil, locks in moisture, and helps keep weeds down. It is simple, natural, and effective. A few quick tips: Only use clippings from chemical-free lawns (no weed killers, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers). Make sure your grass is freshly cut and not flowering — no rogue seeds in your veggie beds! Spread a thin layer (1–2 inches) so it doesn’t mat. If clippings are very fresh or wet, let th

After cutting back my autumn raspberries, I save the canes to use later as pea supports. Peas find it much easier to climb raspberry canes than smooth bamboo sticks because the canes have natural little spikes and texture for them to cling onto. Reusing the canes makes gardening more sustainable, and I love that one plant can give two uses in the garden. #sustainablegardening #growyourown #gardeningtips | Gitas gardening journey

Want to grow your own pumpkins next year? 🎃 Start by saving seeds from this year’s pumpkin! Scoop out the seeds, wash off all the pulp, and let them dry completely. Good seeds are plump, firm, and healthy-looking. A quick tip: put them in water, seeds that sink are usually the best ones to save! Once dry, store them in paper envelopes or airtight containers in a cool, dry place. Next year, you’ll have your own pumpkin seeds ready to plant. #SeedSaving #pumkinseeds #GardeningTips #growyourown #g

Nasturtiums are such little helpers in the garden! 🌼 Lift the leaves and you’ll find handfuls of seeds ready to save for next season. These cheerful flowers self-seed easily, so they often come back on their own. 💛 They’re also excellent companion plants, helping protect your veggies by attracting pests like aphids away from them. Collect the seeds, dry them, and enjoy them the next year. Nature really makes it simple! #Nasturtiums #SeedSaving #SelfSeedingPlants #CompanionPlanting #GrowYourOwn

When your gladiolus are done blooming, don’t pull the spent spikes, twist them off. Pulling can loosen or damage the corm, which weakens next year’s blooms. A gentle twist keeps the corm secure and lets the plant keep sending energy where it’s needed most. #Gladiolus #GladiolusCare #SummerBulbs #GardenHacks #FlowerGardening #CormCare #gardenersofinstagram #gardeningtips #gardenlife #fblifestyle | Gitas gardening journey

Do you remember when I braided my onions in autumn? 🧅 Many of you asked how I store them. I keep all my onions safely in the shed, and they stay perfectly for 6–8 months with no problem. It’s such a simple way to enjoy my homegrown harvest all winter, and it makes me happy to see them looking just as good as when I tied them up. #gardeningtips #homegrown #onionharvest | Gitas gardening journey

These sweet peas were kept in a damp kitchen towel for 3 days until they started to sprout. Now they’ll keep growing in my unheated greenhouse until they’re ready to plant outdoors. Pre-sprouting really helps with faster germination, especially for seeds with tougher shells, such a simple step makes a big difference! #sweetpeas #presprouting #gardeningtips | Gitas gardening journey

I dig up most of my dahlias for winter, but for the few I leave in the ground, I cut them down and cover the tubers with their own foliage. This can help them survive a mild winter, but it’s not enough in harsh or freezing conditions ❄️ Digging is still the safest bet for long-term survival! #DahliaCare #WinterGarden #GardenTips #DahliaLovers #gardeningtips #GardeningLife #GardenHacks #gardenhacks #fblifestyle | Gitas gardening journey

Save your own onion seeds for next season, it’s easy and a great way to grow onions adapted to your garden! Onions are biennial, they grow bulbs the first year and flowers (with seeds) the next. By leaving a few onions in the ground over winter, they’ll bloom in spring and produce seeds for you to harvest. How to collect onion seeds: 1. Leave a few onions in the ground over winter. 2. Wait for flower heads to bloom and mature. 3. Let heads dry, brown and crispy means seeds are ready. 4. Collect
