Wildlife Emergency on the Allotment!
Not sure what to do here if I’m honest. Yesterday (26th March), we finally made it up to the allotment to tackle a few more tidy up jobs. The plan was to finish weeding an area where I’d piled up compost from one of the wooden bins, and spread it over the bay for the…

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…

Seeds!
Sowing, potting up – all things seed. I’ve been trying to stay on top of the seed sowing, potting up etc but already I’ve run into a problem. I don’t have enough window sills and the space I used in the living room last year is not available this year so I am going to…

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 quick catch-up
Well friends, isn’t time just flying by at the moment? I realised I haven’t done much ‘blogging’ over the last few days so I thought it was time for a quick catch-up. I’ll just have to imagine you are sitting at the table with me, enjoying a cup of coffee/tea/whatever you found in my cupboard.…

February Garden Jobs Continue!
I’m trying to stay methodical with these jobs but it’s a struggle! The last time I gave you a plot update it was to show I finally got a job finished, albeit a small corner of a bay but still, it helps. Well, despite the cold, we went up again today and managed to FINALLY…

Not the weather for Gardening
I’m worried about wind – and no, not my own! I’ve been worried about the strong winds we’ve been getting recently, since a fence panel came down few weeks ago (should be fixed this week 😊) and the other day I got to watch my little mini-greenhouse explore areas of the garden he doesn’t usually…
