Native to the Eastern Mediterranean, cumin has been prized since ancient Egypt & Rome. 🌿 Its warm, earthy notes elevate curries and stews, while traditional medicine relies on it to soothe digestion and ease inflammation. A timeless culinary staple with thousands of years of history!

Plant brassicas firmly for strong roots! 🥦 Using a dibber lets you set seedlings deep—bury them right up to where the lower leaves join the stem, just above soil level. Firm them well and level the soil to stop wind rock and build sturdy stems for a top harvest.

Tackling the willow tree before it completely takes over! Willow cuttings look like great pea supports, but beware: stick them in the soil and they root instantly, even when they look bone dry. Have you ever accidentally grown a tree this way? 👇 #AllotmentLife #GardeningTips #GrowYourOwn #VegPlotter #Gardening

Harvest late beetroot before the first frosts so they keep for several months! Choose a dry day, let them dry on the ground, and twist off—rather than cut—the leaves to prevent bleeding. Explore the full beetroot grow guide here: vegplotter.com/grow-guides/b…
