Sowing the seeds – what’s next?
Before and after one year
So about a year ago I moved gardens with one of my favourite clients and one of the new things we had was a vegetable garden. I just had to find it. This July we had moved several standard roses into the space, covered alot of the weeded ground with membrane so I could get on with other jobs in the garden, and planted some herbs, strawberries and grew things like coriander and rocket from seed.
I also ventured into a raspberry cage the size of the average London.
It’s now on the way to being a lovely sight, and the raspberries are coming along a treat.
Today’s ‘helper’
This beauty was a bit hot today, so hid in the sweetcorn and decided to sneeze loudly and give me a fright. 13/10 for sneakiness and keeping me on my wellies. Will be surprised by again.
I am currently updating my site
So check back here, or feel free to give me a bell or email. Many thanks. 11th July 2018
So simple – wildflower meadows
With the help of a ride-on mower, I’ve been making some nice shapes in the meadow.
Words to garden by
“Gardening is surely an ideal profession for the woman who likes it. The work is not so heavy as to put too great a strain on her physical capacity; and in the more expert branches the possibilities and range of interest is really unlimited”

Very good at chasing balls, not terribly good at weeding. 12/10 would throw for again, and again, and again….
