If your Instagram feed is filled with gardeners like me, you will have no doubt come across Spicy Moustache’s legendary videos. Spicy Moustache is Alessandro Vitale. He hails from Northern Italy near Verona and after moving to London a few years ago, turned his small front yard into an oasis of herbs, tomatoes, strawberries, beans and flowers, inspiring us all.
He learned all of his gardening skills from his beloved Italian Grandfather and has become the king of small scale, sustainable gardening showing us all how to turn dreary urban areas into beautiful oases.
The garden which has made him famous (5 million followers and growing daily) is only 5metres x 8metres, check out some of the images below for a closer look at Spicy Moustache’s London garden. And I’ve included my free gardening planting calendar below too!
