Hello! Welcome to my corner of the world in West Sussex. I have been here all week, apart from yesterday when I was up in London for a meeting. It’s great for me, as a mum, to don a summer dress, heels and make-up and stride through the streets of London in the sun occasionally. [...]

Hello! Good morning! How are you? I thought I’d do a wee update from my garden today. An update and a confession but more on the confession later. I’ve got so much going on outside in the garden right now that it can get a little tricky to keep up with it all. ALWAYS one [...]

Garden, garden, garden. From Friday afternoon until Sunday evening when I fell exhausted on to the sofa. The inside of the house is remaining woefully unpacked but the outside is taking shape. I said to Louise (my sort of sister – in – law) as I began to stack the dishwasher ” I don’t want [...]

Good morning! I’m a big believer in reusing whatever I can whenever I can. My raised beds are a case in point. Here they are in place at my old house last Summer and here they are stacked up their in the corner of my new garden, can you see them? I didn’t want to [...]

Hello! If you are thinking about growing anything then you couldn’t start with an easier vegetable than Rhubarb. It actually needs very little attention but of course, as with most things, if you go the extra mile with it you’ll get much better results. It’s fantastic for cooking and baking with and rewards you year [...]

Good morning! I am popping up here this morning to say that tomorrow I will be posting my how-to’s on how to plant Onions, Rhubarb and Horseradish. I was amazed at how easy and quick it was to plant all three of these vegetables and I’m looking forward to eating and cooking with them. Of [...]

To be honest we didn’t have super high hopes for the weather this weekend. For a start we had heard that it was going to drizzle on Saturday, it didn’t, the sun shone all day. We had also heard that it was going to be about eleven degrees. It wasn’t, in fact it was perfect. [...]

I watched Gardeners’ World yesterday evening on the BBC iplayer. I’d missed the return of Monty Don when it went out and was desperate to catch up. The first episode of this series did not disappoint. The part I loved the most was when it showed Monty in his own garden. He spoke about the [...]
