Gardening in a small space. Hoping for the best but fearing the worst. September 1, 2013. When we left for our holiday last Saturday, the cat was packed off to a cattery and I’d done all I could to prepare the garden for us not to be around. By Sunday evening I was suffering from separation anxiety! We spent our week in Somerset, near Burnham on Sea in a lodge on a farm. If I share some photos, I can write less. The view from our kitchen window. Oh well, back to normality. September 1, 2013 at 12:54 pm.

Gardening in a small space. Monthly Archives: September, 2013. No shortage of tomatoes. September 29, 2013. Well, I’m really just down to my last tomatoes in the garden which are green which I think I will probably pick and decide what to do with over the next few days, either chutney or ripen them indoors. Put the oven on at about 100 oC, nice and low. Cut a “v” to remove the centre. This is where a good deal of patience helps. dry them for 10-12 hours! Turn the tomatoes over about half way through.

Butterflies and busyness | quitegifted

Gardening in a small space. August 22, 2013. I’ve been busy with the kids some have had to grab a little time here and there each day to keep on top of things and generally get an idea of jobs I need to do. I’ve cut back the strawberry plants quite hard and cleared weeds and waste. Planted up, the Mexican tree spinach and Aquilegia. I always pile up cuttings and leave them for a day or two, it gives any bugs the opportunity to crawl away and find new homes. August 23, 2013 at 5:21 pm. Thank you for visit...

Autumn in disguise | quitegifted
https://quitegifted.wordpress.com/2013/10/06/2658
Gardening in a small space. October 6, 2013. The weather today was glorious, I pottered in the garden in a t-shirt. Washing drying on the line and windows all fully open letting out the pungency of the last batch of chutney bubbling away on the stove. A good day! So I’ve been doing some more jobs to prepare for the coming months. I am one step ahead of the squirrels this year, my pots that have been planted up with Spring bulbs are now nice and secure un some netting. Apparently the slugs and snails don&...

Gardening in a small space. October 8, 2013. This morning I was lucky enough to have the time to go along to the RHS Harvest Festival in London. My very first time at this, a very small venue but I spent a contented 45 minutes wandering around taking photos and grinning inanely to myself. I thought I’d share my photos with you. I was totally in awe of the size and quality of everything on show. I love these, they’re so quirky looking. I thought these photos intriguing. How is it even possible? I am one s...

As they are a bit spindly, you could bury them deeper,or put them in a tall container and cover well! On March 5, 2013 at 10:10 am. These were supposed to be ones for eating not growing!

Onions – first harvest | Me and 2 Veg
https://meand2veg.wordpress.com/2012/07/01/first-harvest-onions
Me and 2 Veg. Attempting to be green and growing-my-own. Laquo; Garlic – first harvest. Onions – first harvest. Posted July 1, 2012 by Donna in veggies. My “Radar”. Onions had started to flop over and as they were getting quite large, and we had a dry afternoon today, I dug them up. They are of varying sizes but all big enough for me to be happy with. I’d say they were all at least as big as a tennis ball. Radar onions and Vallelado garlic 1.7.12. Broad beans and rainbow chard 1.7.12. Thanks Flighty....
