We felt confident enough with the warmer weather to start planting out our pea and mangetout plants! Now just hoping they don't get too munched by hungry mice! Grow & Learn Awards Tollcross Allotments #Pisum sativum 'Early Onward' #seedsaving #givepeasachance

This week our shallots popped up and the apple trees are blossoming! Grow & Learn Awards #springhassprung

Varnishing our refreshed garden signage!

We are extremely grateful for the cold frames Sacro Community Payback Service has made for The Garden Project's Tollcross and Bellahouston growing spaces. Clever upcycling of glass panel doors and perfect for protecting tender plants from cold spells! #ReduceReuseRecycle

Today we spruced up the flower beds outside Tollcross Park Animal Farm with a lovely variety of mediterranean herbs which should last a few years and please passersby including our winged pollinator friends! Friends of Tollcross Glasgow City Council

First crop of lovely polytunnel grown radishes! Grow & Learn Awards @tollcrossallot

See you there tomorrow!

Our flaxseed is growing! We hope to make a new landrace variety to harvest for linen fibre, more suited to a Scottish climate. Thanks to @glasgowseedlibrary and seed donated from @straw_into_gold @eaclauristonfarm #flax #scotlandgrows #landrace #sustainablefashion

We're brewing comfrey tea, weed tea, horsetail tea...stinky but beneficial brews to feed the plants. Hold your nose! Grow & Learn Awards CJustice Glasgow #organicfertilizers #homemadefertilizer #freeplantfertilizer

Lettuces and beetroot harvest from the poly already! Grow & Learn Awards #growyourown #butterheadlettuce #horticulturepathway

Planting up new tubs at Carmyle station✅ Thank you Sacro Community Payback team for painting, shifting and filling them...we had the easier task of planting them up! Going that extra 'Carmyle'!!! Sacro Glasgow ScotRail #trainstationplanters #heattolerantplants

Some good sized quality caulis, broad beans, garlic and totties in the growing beds this week! The cauli is getting competition sized! 😂 Grow & Learn Awards

The flaxseed that we are growing for the first time, is shooting up now it's raining! Rumpelstiltskin #Scottishfibres #sustainablelinen James Davis

We 'felled' this giant cauliflower last week with a saw! It was grown in Sacro's Garden Project polytunnel at Bellahouston Demonstration Garden. That's a lot of cauliflower cheese. #OrkneyF1 #homegrowncauli #growyourown #growgreens #Glesgaeatsveg

These later summer blooms, a mix of annuals and perennials, look gorgeous in the Tollcross Park Mansion House beds and are bee magnets. Our gardening groups enjoy tending this bed especially! @tollcrossallot Grow & Learn Awards

Today we pulled some of the flax we grew from seed and planted around 100 days ago and will start the process of making it into linen fibre. #sustainablefibre #Scottishflax
