Tidy up time

(A paid post with the good people from GARDENA NZ) Historically, back in the day I was a bit of a malingerer, I would be slow to clear away the seasons end.  Not because I was lazy, but to acknowledge the season was over was too much to bear.   I’m just as bad with my Christmas decorations and this year they made it to Valentine’s … Continue reading Tidy up time

Making Mulch

(A paid post with the good people from GARDENA NZ) As much as it is still early spring and the weather flip flops between hopefully promising with warm sunny days and a brutal reminder that summer is still a way off as the wind drives cold rain into window panes making indoor computer gardening seem like the best option for the day, it is still … Continue reading Making Mulch

How to grow a vegie garden in a small spaceIn my new garden layout, I found myself with a spare 1m x 4m garden bed. Coincidentally the good people at Yates NZ gave me a full set of their Small Gardens range of seeds so I decided to pretend that spare bed was my only garden bed and am going to grow all of the exciting Small Gardens seeds in this bed, with no cheating overflow going elsewhere.Now I just need to eat carrot and celeriac like they are going out of fashion and prepare the soil, make a plan and sow seeds. We are past the first day of spring, but there is still plenty of time to start a vegie garden from seed.I’ll keep you posted. : o)#Sponsored #Gifted #Small Gardens ...

The weeds are creeping into my recently pristine garden beds. It always surprises me how quickly they can take over when you turn your back. But it is a sign that things are warming up... so there's that. Just as well I don't mind a bit of weeding - it is mindful and calming to slowly and carefully work across the garden watching the clean soil appear in front of you. Soon enough there will be plants and mulch and it will be a completely different space! : o) ...

The weather has packed up again. I could garden in the rain in my sturdy red raincoat, but I don't want to and at this point I don't need to. The garden is in a good position with most weeds conquered and most beds enriched with nutrients to nourish a new generation so (aside from all the projects) all there is to do is wait. So I picked up some light reading. To be honest I don't know where it came from but there it was ... just waiting to be read. The Amateur Gardener by A.G.L. Hellyer (1948) says in the preface that it's 'sufficiently up-to-date' with the latest technical developments and scientific information as a result of horticultural research since the two wars! It will be interesting to see what was considered cutting edge in the garden a whole lifetime ago!The long range weather forecast looks miserable so there'll be be plenty of spare moments for some time travel! : o) ...
