There is just a bit too much excitement going on around Ar Bruadair just now because the most enormous box of spring bulbs arrived in the post. And I mean enormous! It’s not often gardeners get to do an unboxing video but hang in there till the end and you […]
Now I swore I wasn’t going to grow any winter veg and here I am mucking about with carrots. So here’s the thing, a while ago I planted two lots of carrots. The first lot I planted directly into the raised beds. The second lot I planted in the root […]
Today is the start of something really interesting which we’ll be covering over multiple posts and videos over the winter and beyond. Hydrangeas. However, as we have to start somewhere, I thought a brilliant place to start might just be winter and how we look after our plants because that […]
I’m currently looking out at the rain and wind and wondering if I’ll ever get into the garden again. It feels like there has been constant heavy rain for weeks. I know that’s not accurate, there will definitely have been mixes of rain and dry but because I can only […]

Boy oh boy do we have a damn good chuckle to share with you guys today… this weekend… we wrapped the greenhouse. Yup, you read that correctly, we WRAPPED THE GREENHOUSE. OK let’s go back to the start… it will all make sense that way. For you guys who have […]

I’m starting to get organised for the colder months coming and I’m spending a bit of time taking stock of the garden, of what’s hardy and can stay outside and what will need a wee bit of love and support once the weather turns. I’ve started planning what I can […]
It’s been forever since we did any major jobs in the garden, I think replacing the raised beds might have been the only big job for a few years now. We managed to get things how we wanted them quite early on, so it’s meant we didn’t really have to […]
I’m doing one of my mad experiments in the garden again. It’s completely unplanned but hey ho. I had a spare quadgrow sitting gathering dust and two scrawny little courgette plant babies that I was going to bin. So I thought, if it doesn’t work then it’s no loss. So […]
and this is a glimpse into our life and garden on the east coast of Scotland where we enjoy growing fruit, veg and flowers and cooking indoors and outdoors. 🌱 Join us for fun gardening tips!
