First to be planted in the new raised beds, some beautiful Rosemary. It gives off such a heady aroma and I love the smell that blows gently through our window … I see a roast dinner in our future. 🥰 #herbs #rosemary #plants #garden #gardening #gardener #homesteading #scotland #spring #growyourown #food #yummy #homegrown #countrylifestyle #countrylife #countryliving #cooking #baking #happy

A few years ago we planted 400 + daffodils … we waited and held our breath. Now every year in spring these happy little flowers pop up and bring such joy and happiness. It was a lot of work to plant them all, but worth every second … snowdrops next … 🥰😃
#homesteading #scotland #flowers #daffodils #spring #garden #gardening Our radishes were such a success last year, with us using the leaves, as well as the roots for the first time. The peppery leaves were a lovely addition to salads and burgers … and my kids absolutely loved them. So I’m off to plant some more … yum 😋 🌱

#birds #scotland #homesteading #wildlife #countrylife #countryliving #spring I’m finally updating our wee homestead craft shop. It’s been a while, but I’m excited to get going again. First up … We only have two of our little polymer clay chickens left - one white and one brown. Complete with a wee swing, they make a really pretty decoration. Handmade with love, and both looking for a new home … check out our ‘Shop Handmade’ page for more details … 👋🐔 #chickens #handmade #hens #homesteading #scotland #folksy
Our first wander in the hills this year. It was a wee bit chilly, but the views more than made up for it. My happy place … 😊🥾

Just follow the link button below: #potatoes #growyourown #veggies #vegetables #smallholding #homesteading #Scotland #spring Overnight our mint has started to grow again. I know it comes back ever year, but to see it peeking through the soil makes me so happy. I can’t wait to make some fresh mint tea … yum 😋☕️

I love embroidery, so had a great time designing some new ideas ... 😃🌷 #embroidery #sewing #felt #brooch #jewellery #handmade #design #homestead #craft #shop #folksyshop #folksy #rainy #day #spring #flowers #simpleliving #simplethings #happy #time #relax #peaceful #homesteading #countryliving #countrylifestyle #countrylife #rurallife #rural #scotland |
