The Final Day of My Garden Challenge
This is THE most important job you can do in your garden. It might be the most important and yet it’s one I don’t do as much as I should. In fact, I’m going to go out on a limb and say most of you don’t do this job as much as you should and…

Day 6 of My Garden Challenge!
After yesterday, this one was a real delight. When I was thinking about all the jobs I needed to do in the garden, I always had one job in mind. What does a garden need once you’ve done a bit of tidying and tackled jobs you were putting off for ages? I’m not thinking new…

Day 5 of My Garden Challenge!
Now the work really begins… Ok I confess – today is more of a project than a garden ‘job’. Someone had told me in the comments section of my YouTube channel, that turkey-tail mushrooms were thought to have amazing anti-cancer properties. But where to get some? Well, as it happens, you could just buy some,…

Day 4 of My Garden Challenge
This is a small job but it makes a BIG difference! When I was looking round the front garden I knew something had to be done to tidy it up a bit. I’m not ready to weed it yet. I like it looking fuller at this time of the year and it stops the neighbour’s…

Day 3 of My Garden Challenge
This is a job I’d been putting off! Day 3 of the garden challenge was meant for a job I’d been putting off for a long time – the polytunnel. I knew it had taken a battering during storm Amy and I’ll be honest, I hadn’t opened the doors for some time. When I did…

Day 2 of My Garden Challenge
Continuing on from yesterday’s post, today is all about tidying and preparing. I have an area in the garden which I’m continuously working on to improve and make it look a little better than before! If you remember, I took out some fruit trees in the back garden that weren’t working for me. I used…

Garden Challenge – 7 Days 7 Jobs: Day 1
I came up with the idea of doing a job a day in the garden, for 7 days. Those little jobs, the ones we keep putting off because we’ll ‘get to it someday’ – you know the ones, right? Problem was – my back. Yes, it had been strained a bit on the Sunday before…

Would you like some GOOD news for a change?
This post will be brief and to the point! In a time where all we hear about is disaster and mayhem, I’m over the moon to be able to bring some good news. If you are a regular to my blog, you will know my family has been going through a very rough patch as…

Security tags on meat and Christmas trees are up too!
My latest shopping trip had a couple of surprises for me. As I drove into the car park, something caught my eye immediately. I had a brief ‘no, it can’t be’ moment, then I realised, yes it can be. Christmas trees are already being thrown up in the stores and they don’t even look like…

You won’t believe what’s happened this week
To say this has been a crazy week isn’t doing it justice. I mentioned before that the fence got badly damaged in the storm last week. Well, there has been no further movement there I’m sad to say but I’ve had to put that on the back burner and here’s why. On Tuesday night, I…

Nuclear Medicine to Storm Amy
It’s catch-up time my friends! If you have managed to read my last few posts, you’ll know we are on a bit of a rollercoaster as we try to balance the good with the bad which life has thrown at us recently. In amongst all of this of course, gardens grow and need attention, clothes…
