With only a few weeks left of home gardening, one family has revealed the fruits of their year-long labour.
Growing your own fruit and vegetables is no easy task, with many aspiring gardeners seeing their hard work go to waste. However, there’s no shortage of expert advice available online for Brits keen on solo gardening.
In a TikTok post that’s taken the internet by storm, one family showed off their impressive yield of home-grown produce after a year of hard graft. The user @plantedinthegarden, who has an impressive 1 million followers, proudly displayed their bounty in a video that’s now making waves across social media.
The caption encouraged: “Dig in and start your own garden grocery journey! Growing a year’s worth of food requires careful planning and efficient use of space. Maximising garden space by interplanting and growing vertically can help fit more crops in small areas.
“By embracing sustainable gardening practices and growing your own food, you can enjoy the benefits of fresh, nutritious produce right from your backyard. Not only does it provide you with a sense of self-sufficiency, but it also promotes a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.”
Above the footage, the message read: “We grew one year’s worth of garden grocery in our backyard and this is what we got.” Viewers were treated to a visual feast of radishes, aubergines, garlic, and more.
The harvest boasted a bounty of peas and potatoes, with plums adding to the variety. On top of that, a rich mix of tomatoes and peppers enhanced the remarkable display.
Since being posted online, the video has racked up an impressive 436,000 likes and almost 3,000 comments. One admirer commented: “The colours of the beautiful foods are picture perfect,” while another simple exclaimed: “Oh my God.”
Another shared their aspirations, saying: “Will always be my dream to have a garden full of veggies.”
