Mystery Plant!
While a lot of my seeds haven’t been taking, I’m so glad to see that these ones have. The only downside: I have no clue what they are. They could be tomatoes, chillies, lemons, aubergines, peppers, or so many other things. I know a lot of plants look like this at this stage, but whatcha…

First Proper Post!
Hi everyone! Now this is exciting! I’m Sam, a lass who likes to blend prepping with a little hedge-witchery. If that sounds a wee bit too eccentric, I can sum it up simply as: I love nature, and I love learning about what I can do with it. So, these first few posts are going…
