Well, my adventure with the jade plants has come to an end. The very last of the little cuttings has gone to its forever home and my plants are looking happy and healthy. I am becoming quite the regular at delivering plants by bike. I can’t believe I went from […]
I had one of those laughable moments a few weeks ago when it was like I was a brand new, inexperienced gardener again, when I had for a second, forgotten everything I have learned over the years. I was in the greenhouse wondering why I had next to no tomatoes […]

This time last month we let you in on our battle to get the lawn looking lush again after my incident with the fertiliser (and I used too much), which left huge bald, burned patches on the front lawn. Well I’m pleased to say we won that battle and we […]
