It’s that time of year when the garden starts to call you outside after a long winter slumber. Before the chaos of planting sets in around the cottage this season, I thought I’d share some of my houseplants with all …
It’s Saturday morning, the air is changing and you can feel the garden starting to settle into a slower pace of life. If you have been reading this blog you know of my front garden, the area I deem “the …
Walking around the cottage garden this week it feels very much like the end of summer. The dahlias are blooming, the dianthus are starting to go over and there is a crispness to the evening air that I know my …
It has been a while since I shared my cottage garden with all of you. This year the weather and work didn’t leave much time to get out in February and boy did I pay the price for it during …
This year has been my first year planting tulip bulbs at the cottage. This post highlights the 6 that stole my heart. I did use the Huawei P20 for this post, as the camera, and I’m not really loving the …
I can’t believe it’s that time again, no not Saturday but the time in which Instagram gets overrun with the blossoms of the season. The real fun in this game for a gardener is to not only name the blossom …
The weather, as we move from March to April has been challenging to say the least and the only plants that seem truly happy at the moment are pansies, roses and tulips. I thought this week I would celebrate new …
I love this time of year when the garden starts to come back to life with exotic colours. Last October I started planting bulbs for Spring as the cottage garden didn’t have a lot of bulbs. For the last month …
This week we are taking a look at the vegetables that are currently growing here at the cottage. It’s been an odd winter and milder than most so everything is currently looking a bit leafy here. I confess that in …
First of All a Happy New Year to you all. I took quite a break there and my blog is going to look a little different to all of you as I slow down and pull back but the one …
Have you ever walked by a plant and been so overwhelmed by its beauty you had to have it in your garden? This probably only happens to gardeners but this happened to me quite a lot over the last two …
Put down that cuppa and try not to gasp too loudly but this week I have tackled the land that time forgot i.e. our front garden. This Saturday’s post is all about preparing for Spring with bulb planting, weeding mulching …
It’s a cold, wet windy day here. Pretty miserable when you look out at it but I ventured out to show you what is looking fantastic in the rain after Storm Callum. Once out there I replanted some chrysanthemums, potted …
As I type the day is starting to brighten into a beautiful autumn day. The sky has gone from overcast to clear blue. Which is really just typical as I try to capture what’s in flower this week for all …
It’s Saturday so it’s time for…dun dun duuuuuuun… Six on Saturday! The cottage garden is turning over and there is much to celebrate here at the moment. Everything is slowing down and we are all trying to enjoy those...
Do you feel it? That cold that sneaks in during September that warns of the coming winter. I walked around my garden this morning to take some photos for you all and I could feel that cold right through to …
Good morning and happy Saturday to you all. I can’t believe it’s time for another garden post from me and this week I thought I would share what is giving that final burst of colour in my garden. I am …
I’m taking a little break from the Six on Saturday posts this week to have a look at what you can sow in September. I’m focusing mostly on veg I can grow in the greenhouse over winter but I...
I’m sitting here in my dressing gown at 6 am as I type this morning. I’m beside an open window and the room is filled with the sound of the beach and nature waking up all around. It is very …
Every year it happens. I don’t know how but it does. In my meticulous planning, that it turns out isn’t so meticulous, I forget to plan for August and September colour. That’s not the reason you are looking at a …
