Join Eli and Kate and share the gardening fun
It’s time to inject some life back into those garden tools, the easy way! First things first, you absolutely don’t need to sharpen, clean or oil your garden tools. However, if you do, they will last longer, work better and you will save money because you won’t need to replace […]
As always January for us is about getting ready for the coming season, usually beginning with the day in the warmth of the indoors, with a cuppa and a biscuit browsing seed catalogues and websites deciding on what we are going to grow in the coming months. There will definitely […]
When we put a wee snippet into our video showing you how to sterilise your potting mix, we didn’t expect the response it generated. Another one of those wee things I had assumed everyone knew how to do or at least knew why they might choose to do it. Boy […]
The darker, colder winter months are when gardeners all yearn for spring. But for the thoughtful gardeners, this doesn’t have to be a void where there is no gardening to be had. Instead, on days when we can’t be out working in the garden, we could instead be doing our […]
This week I’ve been working on something special. A few weeks ago I asked if you had any questions you wanted to send in and I’d do my best to get you some answers. Well you asked loads of brilliant questions and to be fair, my knowledge and experience only […]

I know I’ve seen so many folks online devastated at the damage being done to newly planted sunflowers, us included. It’s infuriating, I’d taken all […]
In this week’s garden adventures, it’s time to check on the Kelvedon Wonder peas and see how they are going and it’s time to plant out our Cobra green beans. Both these sets of plants are sharing a bed because they are both vertical growers, generally needing a structure to […]
Well after the recent scare with the tomatoes looking a bit poorly, I thought it was time for a greenhouse check-in… and it’s all looking good. And, thankfully, there’s a wee bit more space in there just now thanks to the turn in the weather and the much more summer-esk […]
