Hi, I’m Jamie

I’m a horticulturist and garden writer focused on practical, no-nonsense advice for UK home growers. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve grown vegetables across different soils and microclimates in the United Kingdom, with a special interest in reliable, repeatable methods for busy gardeners.

What I cover

• Seasonal sowing plans for UK conditions (including coastal and cooler areas)
• Soil preparation, crop rotation, and organic pest management
• Container and small-space growing that actually works
• Straightforward “How-To” guides you can follow step-by-step

Credentials

• RHS Level 2 Principles of Horticulture
• Vegetable growing specialist (temperate climate)
• Community garden volunteer & mentor

My approach

I test methods in real gardens first, then write guides that balance clarity, accuracy, and results. I care about beginner-friendly steps and evidence-based tips, avoiding jargon and fluff.

If you’re a UK grower and want simple advice that works from March frosts to October harvests, you’re in the right place.
