I am trying to ween of insta and social media. More towards genuine content so does anyone have any good gardening blogs? UK based (or similar climate at least) please.

I am not looking for curated style content. I am not wanting boxes of here’s the best 25 flower beds etc.

I have tried llm but it’s been sending me to non existing blogs or reroutes to compilation sites.

Thanks in advance.

Huw Richards and Charles Dowding are both worth looking into

Thanks had a quick scout of them both.

Problem I am finding is lots of people have moved away from blogs etc. Their content is very much insta/facebook/youtube. Which is exactly what I am trying to escape. I want slower interest based content rather than fast picture/video based engagement driven stuff.

I know most people are gonna say sign of the times, but I feel some of the older stuff must exist.

Hey Cherry it's worth asking in !womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone someone there might know

I can't speak from any personal experience here. But I do see that ooh.directory has a gardening section, and many of the blogs it points to appear to be UK based.
