I finally have the first plants reaching a harvestable size in the greenhouse. it's still quite cold outside during the night, so I was quite limited in my choice. I have some salads that are approaching

Hey, it's been a while! The daffodils are in bloom right now and spring seems to see all around us. It's a bit weird to think that only 10 days ago the story was completely different. Winter showed up

That's what they've been calling the cold front we've had over the last few days in this area. It's a bit of a sensationalist headline but ... oh well, it's been in the papers and all that and I find it

Short and sweet. Snake's-head Fritillary coming up. I've had this one for a couple of years now. Their pretty flowers are already starting to form. Last year I've opened some of the seed pods over a new

The weather has been a bit iffy the last few days, rained a lot, it was cold and all that... it's February to be fair so I don't really have a reason to complain but that never stopped anyone before, heh.

Hey. I've finally started my main seeds for this growing season. This picture is not helpful at all really so I'm just going to list what I've planted. Toms: San Marzano 3 Black Opal Sweetie or Sweet Million

For this #plantgrowth snapshot I had a look at the trees I kept in the greenhouse over the winter as these ones don't like freezing. Kumquat. Seems to do ok, at least it survived the worst of the winter

Dont' really have much to say today but had to share this beer with the world! I know Sierra Nevada is a big player and maybe this beer is well known to the US peeps, but over here, I don't get a lot of

I've cleaned up my strawberry plants today, removing all dead leaves and repotting a few plants. Last July I've rooted a lot of shoots so I thought it would be fun to look back and see what changed. Most

Next in line for the #PlantGrowth series are some of the brambles/shrubs. They all look pretty sad at this point in January but they should wake up soon. Raspberry and yellow raspberry. Thornless blackberry.

I'm going to start a simple photo log that records the development of my outside fruit trees/shrubs. I'm pretty bad at keeping track of plants so this should help track them. Going to take pics of them

Three days ago I sowed my first seeds for this year and the tiny plants are poking through the soil already. They're doing great! Haven't worked out yet how to take close up pics with my new phone so this

I started doing some gardening work in the last few days and I was hoping I could carry on but it seems the weather has different plans. It's not all bad though, some plants seem to show off their indifference

Got the first line of buckets done and I need to start thinking about the first plants go in. It's still winter so I need something cold hardy. Went for some quick growing greens. Lettuce, iceberg and

January is coming to an end and the temperatures in my greenhouse are starting to be quite pleasant now so I thought it's about time to get my hydroponic system set up again. A couple of weeks ago I took

Hey all! I took a few cuttings of rosemary a couple of weeks ago and I thought it'd be fun if I'd try to turn them into bonsai trees. Had a quick look online as well to see if it's possible and found some

I wish you all a lovely Christmas peeps! Now... If this is what 90% of your Christmas presents would be, would you say you've got a problem ? ! I'll just assume that most people are just appreciative of

A couple of months ago I had my last tomato harvest and a lot of them were still really green. I didn't think they would actually ripen so most of them were used up as green toms in various dishes. I kept

It's pretty rare we get snow this time of the year in this part of the world but this morning it happened! Our little Christmas tree is looking very festive! Still going...

Next in the beer pairs are the Belgian blonde ales. This classic style is showcasing what different flavours yeast strains can impart to a brew. This evening we've got a Zig and a Zag. The similar designs
