News Round Up!
It has come to my attention that I’ve been very busy lately and haven’t shared much of it with you – so it’s time to change that. This post will have lots of pictures, despite me getting ever closer to my WordPress ‘limit’! In the spirit of Christmas, I’ll begin with showing you some tractors…

Garlic – done differently!
Instead of just planting garlic in the ground, I tried a few different methods to get it growing and I’m delighted with the results. A couple of years ago, on the allotment, I planted out all my garlic and waited patiently. Sadly, all – and I mean ALL of it, rotted away in the cold…

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…

Potatoes!
Been making progress on the allotment plot… On my last visit to the plot, I made a mental list: There was something else but as it was a mental list and not a written down list, I’ve lost it. I couldn’t get the bean canes back up as they had snapped completely at the base.…

Garden & Allotment Get A Little Love!
There is a LOT to catch up on. YES – we finally have our car back and that means the allotment is much easier to get to and I can move the many bags of compost out of the front garden. Before I show you what I found on the latest trip to the allotment,…

Come See An Annual Gardening Show With Me
I went to get some floral inspiration and I’d love to share it with you. At the weekend, Saturday 23th August to be precise, I dragged Dearest Son along to the Nairn annual gardening show to have a look and hopefully get some inspiration for my gardens. I am now convinced my veg will always…
