Beautiful flowers of Rosakrone pea. I wasn't overly impressed by the peas but well worth growing for the flowers which attracted lots of beneficial pollinators. #rosakrone #peas #peaflower #hoverfly #growyourown #ediblegarden #vegetablegarden #allotment #growfood #pollinators #heirloom #gyo #thegardensmallholder #kitchengarden #gardener #gardening This photo was taken just over a week ago, the garden is filling out beautifully. I hope you're enjoying this heatwave, it's too much for me. #thegardensmallholder #vegetablegarden #veggiepatch #kitchengarden #growwhatyoueat #organic #allotment #raisedbeds #growfood #growyourown #ediblegarden The herb bed we planted from scratch back in March is filling out nicely now, herbs and edible flowers blend into each other which gives the whole patch a relaxed look and feel #gardener #herbpatch #herbbed #herbs #allotment #seasonalfood #freshfood #organic #kitchengarden #growfood #growyourown #growwhatyoueat #organic #veggiepatch #vegetablegarden #thegardensmallholder The much anticipated yellow pea pods of Mangetout 'Golden Sweet' 🌱#thegardensmallholder #heritagevegetables #rareseeds #heritage #peas #growyourown #growwhatyoueat #growfood #vegetablegarden #kitchengarden #ediblegarden #edibles #gardener #allotment #organic #freshfood #seasonalfood Golden Sweet pea flowers.
