Sow Much More, Exeter (2026)

Back on the allotment but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Everything, and I mean everything is struggling. The courgettes have stopped, the pumpkins have shrunk, the lettuces have bolted and even the pollination rates are dire.
I have the distinct feeling of just carrying on despite the world falling apart around our ears… anyone else?

I have lived in Devon for almost 6 years now and it’s taken me until now to just strap on a pair (of backpacks) and go wild camping.

A few years ago, while on a walk through the woods near where I used to live, I was followed by two men. It scared me, more than I’d like to admit. I used to go to those woods all the time, usually alone or with my dog, Chester. Often I’d stay until it got dark, feeling the gloom close in around me, it was utterly tranquil, until one day it wasn’t. I won’t go into details (there aren’t many!) but I managed to find a spot to hide out until they left me alone, by virtue of the fact that I knew the woods so well.

But it’s taken me a while to get my confidence back. I don’t walk alone now, even though I wish I could! But luckily I have a very plucky mum, and when I messaged her yesterday to see if she wanted to go wild camping with me she replied with “yesssss” 🤣

This was a beautiful experience, and one I’d love to repeat. The only minor problem was it happened to be a flying ant day, and those guys were EVERYWHERE 🤣🫠 (second to last slide!). Thankfully they were non-violent ants and we didn’t get bitten. Although I did get bitten by something else but some plaintain balm sorted it out very quickly!

WHAT A WEEKEND!

I don’t do personal posts very often, but it’s not every week you turn 40 and have your hen party at the same time 😂🥳💃🏼

My very epic friends organised a weekend away at Boringdon Hall Hotel and Spa, Devon for my birthday, and a night out for my hen do. And Alanis Morrisette happened to pop to Devon this weekend too, so it would have been rude not to go and see her as well 🤩

I have partied, relaxed, eaten all the food and felt totally and utterly spoiled 💖

We all talk about watering early in the morning, or last thing at night, mulching, olla pots and irrigation systems, but do we ever talk about reducing water loss from the soil surface using plants?

Happy birthday to meeee!

Sorry I’ve been quiet on here for a little while - I’ve had my head down working on something that I think you’re going to LOVE. Also busy planning and wedding AND now… turning 40 🥳

While this does feel like a big number, I’m bloody proud of the person I am now, the things I’ve done and the place I’m at now. Especially as I’ve spent the morning in the woods on Dartmoor with my Mum eating cream teas off a log and strawberries and meringue! 😋 If this is 40, I’m cool with that 🤣😍

Much love to you all # # #

Invisible ultraviolet lights inside flowers? Yep, our plants are pretty amazing, and they have evolved to take advantage of bees in a way that benefits both the bee and the plant.

By luring bees in with the promise of nectar, they can get their pollen to the next flower to pollinate it. The nectar also gives the bees the energy to keep going, so it’s win win 💖

Here’s how to deadhead your roses to encourage more flowering.

This only works on repeat flowering roses like this Emma Bridgewater rose from (Previously gifted).

With rambling roses that tend to only flower once, leave the flowers to die back on the plant so you can get rose hips, this is a great way to feed your birds 🥰
