Friday, 28 May 2010. Chelsea Flower Show: Shops for everyone. Just as exhaustion struck on the hottest day of the year, a young man popped off the Tregothnan. Stand and handed me an instant Cornish Cream Tea. From leaves grown on the Tregothnan estate, a cuppa has never tasted better. I turned round to see. The coolest plant containers from Bronzino. Solid copper and zinc they put any other pot I've seen in the shade. Meanwhile, my old friend The Allotment Shop. In Sloane Street showed us. Chelsea Flower...

http://thenearlygoodlife.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

The lost gardens of Broadwelligan. A bit of an insight into bringing the old gardens and veg plot at Fairview, Broadwell back to life. Thursday, 28 July 2011. What more can I say! Roasted whole or chopped or crushed into anything, It has to be one of my best additions to a nice home cooked meal! I even love to just look at a nice string of it in the kitchen! Thanks for that Mo. This one is a softneck variety so no flower stalks to worry about here, and apparently softneck varieties keep longer, but I...

The lost gardens of Broadwelligan. A bit of an insight into bringing the old gardens and veg plot at Fairview, Broadwell back to life. Tuesday, 2 August 2011. I just have that urge this morning. Not that rather naughty one that I cannot discuss here. But the urge to blog about my greenhouse. I am over the moon with it so far this year! It feels like walking into a jungle when I go in :). Oh, and it's the spot to plug in the radio! Peering into the jungle. Sweet pepper 'Orange bell'. Well that's enough fr...

The lost gardens of Broadwelligan. A bit of an insight into bringing the old gardens and veg plot at Fairview, Broadwell back to life. Tuesday, 8 March 2011. A little day trip to the local nursery. How bad am I? And see what delights they have to offer. I followed the owner around the nursery while he opened up the polytunnels, and directed some seriously technical questions towards him. "do you sell herbaceous plants? Once all the important questions were sorted, (and I had clearly showed myself to be a...

Happy but confused :). Monday, 24 January 2011. I have just man...

The lost gardens of Broadwelligan. A bit of an insight into bringing the old gardens and veg plot at Fairview, Broadwell back to life. Thursday, 7 July 2011. Pump up the jam.

Most of my picked strawberries. What on earth does one do with all those strawberries? I gave a few away to family and friends. another kilo or so. 600g strawberr...

The lost gardens of Broadwelligan. A bit of an insight into bringing the old gardens and veg plot at Fairview, Broadwell back to life. Monday, 21 February 2011. Last week saw the arrival of my Rhubarb crowns. I ordered 9 in total. 3 Stockbridge arrow, 3 Suttons seedless and 3 Victoria. They all came from Suttons, and I am very happy with the quality of them (not that I know much about Rhubarb crowns though :). Completion grows ever nearer! Instead, it was overcast, dull, gloomy, grey, damp, and still dri...
