Alternatively…how to dangle a potato covered in feathers over your crops to act as a bird scarer. 😂 It works really well at keeping birds off your fruit and veggies in the kitchen garden #gardening #gardeningtips #gardeninghacks #birdscarer"

Tomato Seeds

Simon Akeroyd on Instagram: "This is the simplest method I know to save tomato seed. It always works and is so simple. If you follow this technique with some of your favourite tomato seeds that you grew this year you should never need to buy tomato seed again. Heirloom varieties usually come true from seed. #growtomatoes #saveseed #seedsowing"

How To Grow Leeks From Scraps

Simon Akeroyd on Instagram: "It’s so quick and easy to re-grow leek scraps. Intead of throwing the bases of the leeks away after you’ve made your Christmas meal you can instead re-grow them in either compost or water. They won’t grow to full size leeks, but they will be sweet, succulent and packed full of mild, oniony flavours. #festiveseason #christmas #gardening #growyourown"

Sweet Pea Garden Ideas

Simon Akeroyd on Instagram: "Winning at life! Infinity glitch of sweet peas. An almost endless supply of sweet pea plants. Once sweet pea plants have three sets of leaves they should be pinched back to just above the first set of leaves. This produces a healthier, bushier sweet pea, instead of it going leggy. Place these sweet pea tops in water. They will produce roots after about three weeks and became additional sweet pea plants for you. You could then pinch the tips out of these new sweet pea plants and repeat the process. Thus rewarding you with loads and loads of sweet pea plants from just originally a few seeds. #gardening #freeplants #growyourown"
