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…

A-Frames and ‘Rustic’ Pea Supports!
It’s all about the legumes on the plot Can you guess where I’ve been? Yes, the plot was calling. Actually, I thought I’d done a post earlier last week to fill you in but apparently not…tut tut. So to put things right: Early last week, we went back up to the plot and I put…

Flowing with the seasons
I realised something the other day. The signs are all around me that Autumn is well and truly here – leaves getting blown off the trees, harvests slowing down, shorter days and colder nights – all are what I expect when I think of Autumn. I also know that the temperature will continue to fall…

Plants – the perfect pick-me-up
There is a lot to be said for the power of a plant. Isn’t it great how a little colour in the garden can help bring some well-needed cheer? I was a little late in the day taking these photos but I am delighted at the colours beginning to ‘spring’ up in the garden (see…

Signs of Spring….finally!
I’ve been waiting patiently to be able to share this with you, and at long last that day has come my friends. Spring is finally starting to make the announcement that it is on it’s way – in our garden at least. I took some snaps to sweep you along with me in my excitement:…

Garden Improvements – Preparing for Spring
I have been out working in the garden over the last few days, trying to make it look presentable for Spring. We had a bit of damage during the recent storms so I had to put the mini greenhouses back together before I could begin! I have also decided to save up for a proper…

This must be a good sign?
