Our allotment is booming at the moment! Last Saturday we officially became Good Lifers when we harvested enough food to fill a large trug. We had potatoes, broad beans, onions, strawberries and a big bunch of cornflowers. On Sunday we had a mega weeding session. It was baking hot and

Nine months ago I was planting Autumn garlic cloves in the back garden. Garlic takes a long time to grow and I find myself getting increasingly impatient as the months tick by. The shoots creep up little by little over the Winter months. During Spring they have a big growth

June is one of my favourite months of the gardening year. It's a time when you are rewarded for all your hard work; clearing from winter, sowing, potting on, attentively watering seedlings and taking frost action. Me referring to bounty probably tells you this post is about our

We've been in the process of doing up the office at home for what feels like forever. Its been slow progress because this room has been good for storing bulky items like bathroom suites, away from the main living space. Poor Scott was sat working next to a

* Morning! How Does Your Garden Grow is being hosted over here today as Annie is away at Glasto. Between May and June gardening seems to consume me. I spend all Winter thinking about what to plant and looking for the right seeds. Then when Spring arrives I have lots of

Although we went on holiday to Sweden in February, I'm still editing the photos! Unsurprisingly there are lots of photos of food - which got me thinking about all the nice things we ate. Scott and I are both foodies so we always research good places to eat

Two words to describe allotment life this week. Weeds. Potatoes. Hundreds of weeds. Potatoes popping up all over the place! We remove a potato or weed and another pops up. It's like playing a giant game of Whac-a-Mole! The few days of rain we had seemed to kick

On Saturday I headed over to Bishop's Meadow in Farnham to join the volunteer working party. I was last there four weeks ago and I couldn't believe how much everything had grown since then! Cow parsley and meadow buttercups as far as I could see. A

This time last year one of our friends had just had a baby boy and my best friend was about to have a little girl. I don't know how time has passed so quickly but they are both one already! We bought a couple of presents but I
