Welcome to our blog! Ex townies and smallholder wannabes living the good life in rural Bedfordshire. Embracing village life and trying to be as self sufficient as possible, growing seasonal fresh produce in raised beds and collecting lovely eggs from our chickens.

A tiny farm in a big garden.

Moult season! #moultingchickens #chickens #backyardfarm #backyardchickens #feathers #chooks Sometimes it's impossible to fit a German Shepherd into a Instagram square 😂😂#pointyearsandlongtail #toolong #doesntfit #lovemyshepherd #germanshepherd #gardenbuddy Moult season is definitely here. Our girls are taking a well earned break from laying while they grow feathers. The Brahmas are broody on and off and then on again 🙄so finding an egg is quite an exciting experience at the moment 😂#chickens #thegardensmallholder #backyardfarm #backyardchickens #loveourchickens Battle of the beans! Loving the pod colour contest of Borlotti and neighbour Cherokee Trail of Tears. #beans #beanpods #borlottibeans #cherokeetrailoftears #growyourown #growfood #heirloom #thegardensmallholder #kitchengarden #harvest #kitchengarden #allotment #vegetablegarden First time growing Zinnias, fabulous flowers in shades of hot vibrant pinks, oranges and yellows. Exotic-looking flowering over a long season. I'll certainly grow them again increasing numbers next year. #zinnia #zinnias #thegardensmallholder #flowers #beefriendly #allotment #vegetablegarden #kitchengarden #pollinatorgarden #pollinatorfriendly #flowersforvegetablegardens #kitchengardenflowers #growyourown Pumpkin growing in the compost bins. It sprouted from kitchen scraps 🌱#vegetablegarden #organic #allotment #ediblegarden #accidentalplanting #pumpkin #wintersquash #kitchengarden #growfood #growyourown #thegardensmallholder
