Things I want to achieve in October 24 October is the month where the growing season well and truly kicks off.

It is when I question the size of the garden the most! The … Continue reading Garden list for October
Things I want to achieve in September 24 August was a bit of a right off. With 2 weeks travelling and then a post travel lurgy that is still lingering, not a lot got crossed off my August list, so the new list has a lot of old things rolled over. We are now in meteorological spring; however, this doesn’t mean all that much as … Continue reading Garden list for September
Things I want to achieve in August 24 This list is a little late and the month has been cut short, however with the work I did before I took a much-needed break and my new desire to fill the garden with joy not stress, the list isn’t that bad. There is still plenty of time until I’m planting warm season crops so for the … Continue reading Garden List for August

Tasks not on the list may get done in a unexpected side … Continue reading “Winter is a season of recovery and preparation.” — Paul Theroux

Over the heat of the summer the garden didn’t really need a lot and aside from constant watering and regular harvesting, it wasn’t much of a commitment at all, really – especially as the heat often drove me out of the garden before I had fully … Continue reading Fraught with Frustration
In an effort to Make May Count, and not have it disappear out from under me in a blur of lethargy and can’t be botheredness… I am pushing myself to get out there and do things. Any things. Chores that are long overdue and exciting things that I have yet to come up with but will bring joy as I do them. It is hard … Continue reading Pea wrangling
This weekend is a weekend like no other – it is the weekend deemed safe for plants to be planted out without fear of frost. Having said that, it is date based on averages and so there have still been killing frosts recorded beyond that, well into November. Having said that I didn’t get a single frost in my new environment all winter, so I’m … Continue reading Will there be tomatoes in the garden this October?
