It’s Saturday so it’s time to take a look at this week’s six and surprisingly I’m typing to you from my cottage garden this morning under a blanket. I have also fed the birds so I’m likely to get pooped …
It’s funny to be saying goodbye to July when it feels like my garden is just coming alive after the rain. Apparently, we are in for some gloomy weather ahead which makes me worried about blight. This week in the …
Well hello there! How have you been this week? Things are getting a little better in the cottage and I can’t believe it’s time for another Six on Saturday post! Just for all of you, I ran out just after …
This Six on Saturday is going to be short and sweet. After 8 years, we lost our bunny Berry this morning. All the images for this week are unedited and as shot and are a snapshot of what is happening …
This week I’m looking at surprises both good and bad in the cottage garden. Have you ever walked into your garden and stopped dead in your tracks and smiled? It’s been a while but this week that beautiful poppy …
This week I’m using the Six on Saturday post to have a look at a few light and dark areas of my garden. Each of these has been a joy or a puzzle to me. I’ve enjoyed playing with the...
This week’s garden post has taken a bit of a turn thanks to storm Hector and my garden went from a place of paradise to a windswept emergency overnight. I had staked what I could but losses occurred and it’s...
I can’t believe it’s time for another garden blog post. This week’s post is especially for Lisa and it is a tour of the greenhouse in June. I should explain that my greenhouse is a 6ft x 10ft structure with...
This week I have been in my garden playing with a new lens for my camera and just taking the time to breathe after Woollinn. The event took a lot out of all of the Woolinn team and I have …
I’m a little late to the Six on Saturday party which is hosted by the one and only, The Propagator. As the blossoms are beginning to fade around here and well, life in the cottage is pretty bleak I thought...
I’ll hold my hand up among those growers who have been beaten by difficult seeds. I don’t own a propagator or a heated seed mat and yes that could be why a few of my earlier attempts failed. The method...
Some of you are wondering why I have been so quiet and the answer is complicated. We have been quite ill and then we both have heavy workloads at the moment and so we took Easter to catch up on …
Gardening is deeply personal. One person can see weeds, the wrong plant in the wrong place or wildflower chaos while another can view the same garden and see beautiful jewels and treasures within herbaceous borders. Embracing this difference is what...
Over the summer I have been craving a slower pace of life. I found myself desperately falling over myself to keep up with the cottage gardening jobs but never getting the time to actually enjoy being in the garden....
I love growing an online community and when I see a chance to introduce someone to a wider audience I usually jump at it. I follow Hugh on Twitter (@Horti_Hugo) for his insights into the gardening world. This...
Sometimes it feels like the universe is conspiring against you and I’m having one of those weeks where I’m being pulled along with gentle nods here and there that I’m right where I should be. It’s an odd feeling because...
Today’s post is a little bit different. I have been hiding from my garden for a while and instead of writing a lengthy post I took a series of images of anything that caught my eye this week in the …
This June bank holiday I had the privilege of attending Bloom Fringe in Dublin Castle. I was expecting a fun outdoor experience where people came together and left inspired to try something new in their garden or whatever outdoor space...
Hello, It’s been a while since I have been on my blog and for those of you not taking part in the MKAL it’s been a while since you heard my voice in a new podcast episode and no, it...
It’s April and you’re inspired to give growing your own food a chance this year but you are so stuffed with chocolate eggs and that wind howling around your house is enough to make you cling to the couch and...
