These plant pots from Ikea are so handy! I really struggle to stay on top of watering the greenhouse because one minute it's ok, the next it's as dry as a bone. With these I can see if there's enough water to hydrate my plants. I find that cucumbers, luffa and cucamelons are prone to root rot if they're too wet so having them in these pots helps me to prevent all that. Also great for indoor plants and going on holiday! They'er best suited for indoor growing as they don't have any holes in the bottom - just don't leave it out in the rain!

This book by Peter Wohlleben will change the way you view trees, forests and woodlands. For instance, trees in parks or along the road or parking areas for supermarkets have been deprived of a social network most trees need to live full lives. Along with the mycelium network that trees use to communicate with each other or share resources there's a whole world out there that we know very little of.

If like me you suffer from slugs (or maybe even birds) from eating your fruit before you do, I would recommend using these organza bags. It takes a little to put them all on, but at the end you'll have perfect fruits wrapped as little gifts to pick. What's not to like?
