The way it's made is by gently heating rose petals in water and then capturing and condensing the steam. The resulting liquid, also called a hydrosol, is loaded with rose essence and scent.
More professional set-ups use stills to accomplish this, but you can DIY one using a pot, a pot lid, a couple of small dishes, and ice.
Inside the pot is a ceramic dish sitting on a cloth. Sitting on top is the white dish used to collect the hydrosol. Around this is a thick layer of fresh rose petals sitting in cool water. The flowers are highly scented and from my Generous Gardener rose bushes.
Heated on low, the water evaporates and steams the petals. When the steam hits the chilled lid, it condenses back into liquid and drips into the white dish.
And that's how you can make true homemade rosewater.
Next week, I'll show you how to use rosewater to make a gorgeous skin cream πΉπ

Itβs the Garden in May, and the garden has exploded into green life. This time, Iβll be showing the progress of my Fryd bed, how to make simple plant supports, and harvesting the first of this yearβs potatoes. Then I introduce you to and plant up three very unusual edible plants β all are completely new to me β and the new works on the garden shed. I also show you this yearβs container garden set-up and greenhouse garden and give you a full look at the garden and Polycrub.
Youβll also get to see Josie, whoβs grown triple the size she was in March and we wait on word from the vet about Maggie. She was hit by a car two days ago and has been at the veterinary clinic ever since.

Once planted up, these pots can last up to a month before they break down. Mold may grow on them during that time, but it won't hurt the seedlings inside. Once they've come to the end of their life, they can be planted directly in the soil or composted.
Also, newspapers are made from tree pulp, and modern newspaper inks are made of soy. Both are safe for plants and your garden.
It's spring, and the vegetable garden is getting in swing! Join me today as we plant potatoes, sow seeds in the garden, see a part of the garden I rarely show, and meet our new puppy, Josie. If you have a big dog, I'd love to hear your advice on how to keep the garden safe from digging and destruction π

Woody garden material can be challenging to compost, but instead of getting rid of it, use it to make a dead hedge. They're an easy-to-make structure that can be used as an attractive garden feature, a windbreak, or to obscure things you want to hide away from view. In this video, I'll take you through how to build a simple one that's about twelve feet long and 18" wide.
For this project, you'll need eight stakes or straight branches about 4 feet (120 cm) long. You'll also need plenty of woody and dried-up garden waste, a measuring tape, and either a mallet or spade. If branches or stakes need cutting, you can use a hand saw.

I bet you didn't know just how easy it is to grow your own paprika spice! Let me introduce you to my paprika pepper varieties and exactly what to do to transform them into aromatic paprika. In this video, I also compare paprika spice made with red bell peppers to see if it's viable and as tasty as using special paprika peppers. You'll be surprised, I think, and excited about how simple it is to grow and make your own!

Iβm using @waitroseandpartners Rum & Raisin and Christmas mincemeat, and both are soooo good! Theyβre vegetarian (no suet) and save making your own and having to wait the two-week infusion time. Theyβre also full of flavour and top qualityΒ π
Simply roll the dough, cut circles for the bases, and place them in a shallow bun tin. Spoon a walnut-sized portion of mincemeat inside each and fit with the pie crust of your choice. I used a simple star cookie cutter to make them for mine. Bake for 15-20 minutes, cool for 10 minutes, then sprinkle icing sugar on top.
For extra indulgence, spoon cream on top. The Waitrose Extra Thick double cream is what Iβve used, and it comes that thick from the container!Β πΒ Whatβs your favourite way to enjoy mince pies?

π₯§ Here's what you'll need to make this Blackberry Crumble Recipe, including #WaitroseNewLowerPrices products
FILLING
β one bag of Waitrose Essential Seasonal Apples (500g)
β one carton of Waitrose Essential Home Ripening Plums (400g)
β 400g blackberries
β 2 TBSP demerara sugar
β 1 TBSP cornflour (or plain flour)
β 1 tsp cinnamon
TOPPING
β 140g plain flour
β 140g salted butter
β 1 tsp baking powder
β 90g demerara sugar
β 50g porridge oats
TO SERVE
β Waitrose Essential Custard
Preheat the oven to 200Β°C (400Β°F) or 180Β°C (350Β°F) fan or gas 6
1. Make the filling: Peel, core, and chop the apples.
2. De-stone and chop the plums.
3. In a large bowl, stir to coat the apples and plums with the sugar, cornflour, and cinnamon.
4. Pour the mixture into an even layer in a baking dish. Spread the blackberries on top.
5. Make the topping: In a food processor*, pulse the butter, flour, and baking powder together until it has the texture of wet sand.
6. In a large bowl, stir the butter/flour mixture with the oats and sugar.
7. Spread the crumble topping on top of the blackberries. It can come all the way to the top of the dish since there will be sinkage during baking.
8. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the top is golden and the filling bubbling.
9. Serve with warm custard drizzled on top and enjoy!
* You can also use a pastry cutter or two butter knives to cut the butter into the dry ingredients.

It's the Garden in July and today I'm starting off by harvesting the overwintered onions and beginning the process of drying them for the winter. We also have a look at the vegetable garden, honeybees, and the beautifully blooming wildflower trial area. The garden is now home to a new no-dig pumpkin patch and I share how we created it, too. There's plenty of Maggie this time around, the little scamp, and also crops I'm planting and harvesting this month.

Vertical gardening is using walls, trellises, arches, string, and even existing plants and trees to grow plants up. It's useful because it can help cover walls, create windbreaks, visual interest, and make the most of your gardening space, especially in small gardens.
In this video, I share how to make a DIY trellis using sticks, string, and a handful of other materials. It's mounted right on a wall and perfect for growing sweet peas, garden peas, and other climbing plants. I then share some of the other vertical gardening solutions that I have here in the home garden.

Chamomile is an easy-to-grow and beautifully scented flower that we know best as a soothing tea. It also happens to be wonderful for skin care. In this soap recipe, I'll show you how to harvest, dry, and use chamomile to make beautiful all-natural bars of soap. This is a from-scratch soap recipe using the cold process method and creates five to six bars of gentle and sweet-smelling chamomile soap.
Find the full written instructions as a printable recipe along with places to get equipment and ingredients here: lovelygreens.com/natural-chamomile-soap-recipe-soap-making-instructions

For weeks I've been growing heat-loving crops such as sweet potatoes, melons, peppers, tomatoes, and eggplant from seed and slips. It's been a balancing act of starting them early enough to get a harvest and keeping them protected from cold weather before finally being able to plant them in the Polycrub. Today, I prepare the three raised beds and finally get to plant them in their final positions. I also install a new automatic olla watering system to keep the plants watered this summer and give tips on planting eggplants, growing tomatoes on strings, and creating simple wood chip paths.

In this video, I show you how to make a simple, natural, and healing lip balm using fresh lemon balm. The recipe is from my book, A Woman's Garden, and it's great for helping to speed up the healing of cold sores or just for everyday use. It has a beautiful texture!
The recipe begins with harvesting fresh lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) leaves, drying them, using them to make an infused oil, and then blending it into a silky smooth lip balm. This is a beginner to intermediate-level skincare recipe and makes five 10ml pots of lip balm.
π The recipe also appears on page 122 of my book. Here's where to get it:

π©βπΎπ¨βπΎ It's important to me that the foods we do buy are as high quality and as ethically assured as possible. That's why I'm a big fan of @Waitrose ! They use more responsible levels of packaging and support local farming, especially with their lamb.
All of their own brand, fresh, and frozen lamb comes from British farmers whom they've worked with for years. Farmers that raise their animals to award-winning standards of animal welfare. It's rare to come across a supermarket that cares that much.
π· For a pre-Easter feast, I made Waitrose's recipe for Braised Lamb with Mint, Parsley, and Almond Pesto and paired it with a gorgeous bottle of wine.
Though Easter eggs and treats are available now, you can also get 25% off roasts and a range of Β£10 fine wines (including the Malbec) from Waitrose from March 29th to April 11th. A great deal for incredible ingredients π
