Hi, the local open air historical museum, auchindrain, their tearoom has a kitchen garden which they are asking me for help with. They want early main and late crop tatties as a start and looking for varieties that grow well here! Now i have no clue as i just grow shop bought that have sprouted so as not to waste them! 🤦‍♀️ Can you help with suggestions for varieties that would grow well here in argyll, west coast scotland?? They would like me to do the kitchen garden and i would like to aim for something between modern permaculture whilst being historically relevant! There is the possibility i could help olan pther areas for traditional sryle gardens elsewhere on thw sote also! Just struggling with where to start 🤦‍♀️🤣 Hopefully an adventure in the making!!

Use this category to discuss foraging, food production and preservation techniques. There are some really experienced growers in this group already, and from different climates too, so I'm looking forward to seeing how we can encourage one another through the coming year. I often sow peas in January. Right now the ground is frozen , so I wont, but I will be sprouting peas on my kitchen window sill, for pea shoots, which I'll either eat or plant out.

Hello, my name is Chloe. I live in southern Spain, working with Mediterranean dryland permaculture and documenting what actually works in a harsh, water-scarce climate. That land-based practice shapes a lot of what I create. I’m also building a series of permaculture-focused guided visualisations to help people stay grounded, reconnect with themselves and the land, and move toward the life they want to build. You can explore the current visualisations here: Little Green Visualisation Library I look forward to sharing experiences and learning alongside you all.
