Got a pile of green tomatoes at the end of summer? 🍅 Wrap them individually in tissue paper and tuck them into a box or drawer with a red tomato or banana. The trapped ethylene gas speeds up ripening so you can enjoy sweet, red tomatoes!

Often when sharing the risks of multiple food basket failures as we pass 1.5°C of heating on our way to 2°C, I often get this puzzled “what are you even talking about” expression. This is what is what is being referred to.

The reason to grow food at home is not really to be self sufficient or even to save a bit of money (I would fail on both counts I suspect), but to hear your five year old shout ‘oh lucky day’ because you’ve picked a bag of green beans, or have them cheer because it’s sweetcorn season.

Boost bean pollination naturally! Plant climbing sweet peas beside your beans. They’ll twine up the same stakes or wire, and the sweet peas’ scent draws in pollinators—who’ll also visit your bean flowers. A beautiful, bee-friendly combo! #gardenhack #pollinatorfriendly #growyourown

🌞 Happy Summer Solstice, Northern Hemisphere! The longest day means max sunlight—great for fruiting veg like tomatoes, peppers & corn. But heat can stress leafy greens & cause bolting. Keep them cool & hydrated to thrive. Celebrate the light, and keep those veggies happy! 🌽🥬☀️ #SummerSolstice

Crisp cucumbers! Top tip: grow them on a trellis to save space and get straighter fruit. Ancient Romans used special greenhouses to enjoy them year-round. For a quirky treat, try pan-frying thick slices with dill and butter for a savory side dish! Grow guide here: vegplotter.com/grow-guides/...

Is your sweetcorn ready to pick? 🌽: 1️⃣ The silks at the top are brown & dry. 2️⃣ The ear feels plump & firm when squeezed. 3️⃣ Pierce a kernel with your nail. If the juice is milky, it's perfect! If clear, wait. If creamy, it's past its best. Grow guide here: vegplotter.com/grow-guides/...
