But I want to build Rome in a Day!

But I want to build Rome in a Day! I have a fire in my belly and some kind of inflammation in my brain.  I love my garden and I have a grand vision for it.  For the parts of the garden I have already created, there is a standard in my head that I like it to be at… all the time.  The thing … Continue reading But I want to build Rome in a Day!

Gardening with MS

I have a bit of a side kick that shadows me wherever I go.  Most days it is barely noticeable, well not to me, because I’ve learnt to put the nuances it brings to one side and not give it the attention it demands.  Other times it is so demanding of my attention it is impossible to ignore and I have to stop what I’m … Continue reading Gardening with MS

The first bean from the seeds I sowed 9 days ago has popped up.It is always such a relief with the seeds direct sown out in the wild as there is so much more that can go wrong.All I have to do is wait for the rest of them to pop up and then try to keep them alive and well and safe from harm until they finish giving me something to eat! : o) ...

The chickens are still getting out, so I need to up my defences to protect my new planted seedlings and rows of seeds. 💚 Using the smaller mesh plastic trellis I attached 4x90cm in square 25cm in from each end with cable ties. 💚 Then I cut 2x strips the full width at 25cm and attach them to the opposite sides so the whole thing looks a little like a '+'.💚 Bamboo poles poked through the corner and with cable ties closed and secure the sides and I pushed the poles into the soil to anchor the structure.💚 I used a few landscape staples help hold the bottoms that wanted to curl.And with that my tender wee seedlings are safe and can grow without fear or disturbance. : o) ...

I think it is fair to say my new rhubarb is happy. And I promise I won't let unidentified interlopers take over the bed so I can work out who it is and end up with a squillion almost ripe kiwanos and a smothered rhubarb this year! I'm excited to try a recipe for a frozen rhubarb and lemonade slush I've been hanging on to for far to long, and then you can't forget a refreshing rhubarb bellini with a kiss of prosecco. My new rhubarb has deep red stalks and will give whatever I make a beautiful pink blush.Let me know your favourite rhubarb recipes and I'll add them to my list. : o) ...

Even though I have decided that in my microclimate it is warm enough for beans, corn, peppers and tomatoes, I've held back on my cucumbers, pumpkins, zucchini, melons and squash. They really don't like the cold and can be quite fickle, and can sulk worse than a teenager! If it is too cold and wet they can expire and force you to start all over with new seeds or a trip to the garden centre. So mine were started later than the other seeds I sowed and will huddle together in the greenhouse for a little longer until the temperatures seem a bit more settled and a bit warmer... and even then I have plenty of heirs and spares - for just in case. It's hard to believe this small cluster will become the biggest plants in the garden and will take up many square metres! : o) ...
