Memory Lane, 4th April 2023: The greenhouse is filling up
Just waiting for an opportunity to plant out now…
Memory Lane, 25th February 2023: Anyone need a leek?
There’s not a great deal in the garden that’s edible now, but I seem to be doing pretty well with leeks. I’ve not had much success with them until I tried Charles Dowding’s sowing method (four seeds to a cell … Continue reading
Memory Lane, 14th February 2023: My secret cardboard stash
No secret any more, I guess 😀 Over the Winter I’ve been collecting all our cardboard boxes (no way are the recyclers getting their hands on these!) so I can make more no dig beds this year. I’m really not … Continue reading
Second harvest of the asparagus
There were about eight decent spears ready to harvest, so my wife had them all with boiled eggs for lunch today. I can live with missing out this time around. She’s away next week, so I’ll have them all to … Continue reading

Quick! Mow the grass!
The grass has been growing steadily this winter thanks to the relatively mild temperatures and it’s generally been way too wet to mow it, so the lawn and grass in the vegetable plot were starting to look like a jungle. … Continue reading
New old strawberries
Whilst on the topic of strawberries, I’ve also now dug all of the remaining plants out of the old raised strawberry bed. I think there are around fifty in total. They’ve all been put into individual pots and as many … Continue reading
