We are at that time of year when arguments get underway in households centering on the emotive issue the switching on of the central heating!

Having dug the beds and planted the bulbs, it occurs to me that what my garden really needs is an outdoor tap.

For years I have been traipsing through the house carrying an overflowing watering can, which has created a bit of a mess on the carpets. Read the rest of this entry »

Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow Ow.

No, I’m not making Red Indian noises. It is the pain I feel every time I move.

Foolishly I did not heed my own warning. Instead of taking it easy I dashed out into the garden and started digging away. Read the rest of this entry »

This is it. Spring is here and the new shoots are coming through.

So, if you are anything like me you’ll be dashing out into the garden having been shut up indoors all winter.

Wellies on and fork in hand, I’ll be digging over the soil and getting everything ready for the summer ahead. Read the rest of this entry »
