It has been a turbulent week, but not in the way I was expecting. Going by the weather forecast I was set to be indoors or in my raincoat all week. But they got it very wrong. It did rain, but most of it was at night or when I was too knackered to garden anyway so it has been fine by me. Most of … Continue reading It’s done
‘… with pretty things all in a row…’ Well maybe not all in a row, but there are a lot of pretty cool things in the garden right now. Check them out: Come again soon – it feels like the garden is changing every day. Sarah the Gardener : o) NB: click on the images for the chit chat about them. Continue reading ‘How does your garden grow….’
This takes us to the final phase of what I got up to this week. It got a little muddily towards the end of the week. The wind died down to just a gentle puff which was lovely. The first time it happened I remember this weird feeling of something being missing, as the sound of the wind whistling through the cracks and crannies in … Continue reading The state of the Garden Part Four of Three (or possibly four)
Finally, we are at the end of my plans for the future of the garden. It will be such a relief not to have to think about it ever again. I have my notes and can refer to them each autumn and know exactly where I stand. Of course, there will be tweaking and changes going forward, especially when I find out how these summer … Continue reading Cycle Three
I suppose it makes a change from rain, and there is something mysterious about the fog. But I half expect Scooby Doo and Shaggy to stumble out of it exclaiming “Zoikes”. All going well it will clear to a nice blue sky day, which would be lovely as this week I have mostly been behind the computer catching up on all the things that need … Continue reading Foggy Friday
Sector three was once the outer edge of the garden. I’m not entirely sure how it has become part of the heart of the garden, but I think I may need a fence. I’m really pleased with my sector systems as it helps break down my large garden on so many levels – weeding, watering and feeding a sector a day makes the insurmountable achievable. … Continue reading Planning the Garden – Sector Three
Ten days into the new year and I was hoping to be able to give you my list of New Year’s Resolutions that would revolutionise the way I garden making it efficient, motivating and inspiring and have that satisfying “Duh… while didn’t I always do it like that?”. But I’ve got nothing. The thing that springs to my mind most frequently when I think about … Continue reading Goal setting for the garden
I am the kind of person that leaves Christmas – not exactly until the last moment, but I sail close to the wind. My preparations are reactive, not proactive as every year it takes me by surprise. Except when in comes to my spuds. Under normal circumstances I’m thinking of Christmas a whole 100 days in advance, so I get my spuds in on time. … Continue reading Late for Christmas
The efforts to restore the garden back to some semblance of order are coming along nicely. My hands are looking more like gardener hands and at the end of the day I feel the need for a soak in a hot bath to ease my weary muscles. All is as it should be. Check out what I’ve been up to: it is quite exciting. Come … Continue reading Burning with Fire.
… But it is doing it without me! My super secret project is still keeping me indoors bashing out words on my keyboard and I looking out my window at another clear blue sky day and sighing. It is perfect gardening weather…. sigh. My poor garden is definitely entering the neglected phase. But I tell myself only 10 more days and then I can … Continue reading Blast from the Past: Autumn is doing what Autumn does
