About Me

Hello! I’m Stephanie, welcome to my website No Dig Home.

I’m a professional organic no dig kitchen gardener, plant based cook, award winning author and writer, small scale homesteader and mum of three.

In my blog I share my gardening experiences (the successes and the disasters!), recipes for plant based food, crafts and natural products for home and garden. And some of my adventures and outings too!

No Dig Home is all about enjoying the space you have, small scale homesteading wherever you live.

Pinocchio in the polytunnel?! Discovered this quizzical tomato in @charles_dowding’s polytunnel this morning. I do love expressive veg!! Between my allotment and my neighbour I grow a living ‘barrier’ of flowers including this verbena bonariensis, loved by butterflies. This border delights us both. We don’t mind the extra weeding & hoeing - this verbena self seeds like crazy! Other flowers include marigolds, painted sage, cosmos and some triffid-like nasturtiums. It’s cheerful, colourful, increases biodiversity and loved by wild things. Helps us too as it encourages beneficial predators. . . #nodig #nodiggarden #nodigallotment #allotment #wildlifeallotment #allotmentwildlife #wildlifegarden #wildlifegardening #allotmentflowers #gardenwithnature #allotmentlove #allotmentlife #backyardhomestead #backyardhomesteading #backyardhomesteader #organicallotment #gardenwithwildlife #smallscalehomesteading #smallscalehomesteader #smallscalehomestead #giy #gdnbloggers #butterflyflowers Have you pinched out your tomatoes? Now is a good time to remove the growing tips so that the plant focuses on ripening existing trusses and not making new fruit. Side shoot & remove any old leaves at the same time. Charles takes out his growing tips on 10th August, I do mine a week or so later because I want more green tomatoes for chutney. Every day there is less daylight and temperatures are reducing a little. Today I’m sowing spring cabbage, over wintering onions & spring onions. Looking ahead! . . #nodig #tomatoes #nodigpolytunnel #polytunnel #organicgardening #organicgarden #tomatoes #growyourownveg #growyourownfood #growyourownveggies #giy #growfood #growyearround #growundercover #backyardgardener #backyardgarden #backyardhomestead #backyardhomesteading #backyardhomesteader #backgardenveg #allotmentlove #allotmentlife #allotment #nodigallotment #smallscalehomesteading #smallscalehomesteader #smallscalehomestead #nodigorganichomeandgarden #nodigorganichome #allotmentsofinstagram #gdnbloggers Follow up to the tomato dehydrating post a few days ago. Lots of people asked how I store them once finished. It’s like this - simply inside a clean glass jar with a well fitting lid. These will last a year or more, stored in a cool dry cupboard.
