Hello 42 and what a mind blowing year the forty second year of my life had been!
💚Reconnected with my work wife @kategrowsanddesigns and started a food design and consultancy company.
💚Won the people’s choice award for my show garden at @bbcgwlive
💚Married my best friend in the world @mikekeencooks once he finally came back from the arctic
💚Launched the heirloom seed company with Kate, that I have been trying to create for 5 years.
💚That fledgling seed company got a coveted spot in the Great Pavilion at the @the_rhs Chelsea Flower Show
I can honestly say my 40’s has been the best time of my life so far and I cannot wait for the adventures next year will bring.
Thank you all for coming on that journey with me!
Lots more to come!

What an amazing milestone!
This week we went to see the first of our seed packets rolling off the end of the production line at the packing company.
After so many months of hard work, I can’t tell you how amazing it is to have a tangible finished product in our hands.
We couldn’t be more pleased, they look absolutely amazing we really hope you love them as much as we do.
We pick up the first batch of seeds on Monday then the hard work really begins as we start packing them up and sending them out to you guys throughout December.
How exciting!

Who says you can’t grow papaya in the UK?
This is from my 3 year old tree that I grew from seed and have kept as a house plant.
It tasted perfect and yes I will absolutely be saving and germinating all those beautiful seeds!

Do you want a squash that gives you real bang for your buck?
We’ll check out my Sharks Fin Melon harvest of 64, yes 64 fruit from just one plant!
As if that’s not enough for you, they are by far the longest storing squash (well melon strictly speaking) we have come across, being perfectly good more than 2 years after harvest.
Structurally this is much like a watermelon inside but more like spaghetti squash in texture and it’s also not sweet like a standard squash.
This plant is all about texture which it retains when cooked, and if you are looking for a genuine meat alternative look no further.
Traditionally this is used as an ethical alternative to sharks fin soup (hence the name) which is a good indicator to how it can be used best.
We love it in a delicious warming ramen.
Yes we do have seeds but only a limited number, link in stories for anyone interested in trying this epically productive plant.

This absolutely stunning little creature is a Rich Sweetness melon.
A striking pocket size fruit that I’ve fallen totally in love with this year and, unlike other melons actually tastes best when overripe.
A few weeks ago I shared a Reel showing me harvesting these little beauties and it went a little crazy and became the most popular thing I’ve ever posted!
So I think it’s safe to assume that you guys like it so we did 2 things:
First I made you another Reel so all the people asking to see inside got their wish.
Second we had a huge push and managed to get a limited number of seeds into the range earlier than planned.
I’ll put a link in stories for anyone interested.
