I’m too tired for words…
I have slaved away in the garden and have evicted all weeds, mowed all the grass, and harvest so much fabulous food that I can barely lift my fingers to type. Luckily a picture is worth a thousand words so…
Read MoreSomeone stuck a festive period in the middle of my growing season.
I spend all winter dreaming of my perfect garden. I put things in place to improve on last year. Mistakes were learnt from. I carefully selected seeds and dug sodden, cold dirt and carefully removed all trace of weed so…
