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…

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…

Growth in the garden!
I haven’t done a gardening update for a while and there has been a lot happening. For one, I’ve made a new friend in the garden! First of all, I’ll show you what I’ve had to deal with on the plot. I swear, my workload would be cut down if other people were just a…

Busy days & Weird weather
This is a strange time of year in a way. I’ve been busy sowing seeds, preparing beds and doing all those garden sort of jobs for a while now as some of you will be aware. I’ve put some things into the allotment but not many due to the weather. We’ve had a few warm…

Teeth pulling to garden gratification
It’s been a bit of a week……again! Well my bloggy friends, it’s been one of those weeks. This isn’t the first time we’ve been here so I’ll spare the whole attempt at a witty intro and get right down to the nitty gritty. A month ago, you may remember, I was a nervous wreck as…

Did Someone Say SPRING?!
I think it’s here…. We had some utterly terrible weather last weekend and for most of this week, then something strange happened….the wind stopped and that bright thing in the sky got switched on for a bit. This causes magic to happen in the garden. I ventured out into the garden to see if I…

A strange thing going on in the garden
I took pictures! I walked past one of my tubs the other day and had to do a second take – did I just see what I thought I’d seen? Isn’t this December? We haven’t had Christmas yet have we? Oh so many questions! The cause of all this was the rather sudden and unexpected…

The seeds are forming
It’s that time of the year when some of the plants have had their moment and are forming seed pods which intend to take full advantage of. We do still have lots growing so I’ve come to a decision regarding the allotment: I’m not going to weed certain bays at the moment, preferring to clear…

Bee Amazing Today!
I was taking photos in the garden of the flowers and fruits we are starting to see… But then I spotted something and I was inspired (who tutted?): So I made this: In case you are wondering, he appeared to be tasting the door to my diy polytunnel. I didn’t ask him why.

One day in a photo gallery
I did a few things yesterday, from picking fruit, walking the dog and getting swooped by some seriously aggressive seagulls so I thought I’d share some of it with you. Firstly, the garden. There have been a lot of summer raspberries which have been great and I am finally getting bees visiting the garden. I…

Garden Visitors
Spending time with the bees and butterflies in the garden. I wanted to round this week off by sharing a couple of snaps I got today when I was in the front garden. I’ve done a lot of pruning of trees there and haven’t been able to get to the branches to cut them down…
