A Little About Us…

A spark has been ignited in both Andrew and I, to continue the garden transformation, grow more food and focus on the idea of creating a sustainable do it yourself lifestyle around us, incorporating our new found loves of sewing and even more DIY renovation projects.

Today’s glorious garden pickings. The first of the garlic scapes and sweet peas, along with some new potatoes and ranunculus. This right here is the epitome of garden joy for me, the first humble gatherings for the garden before the main crop harvests 🙌🥰🌿💛🌸

Garden pickings popped in a jug on my new (old) farmhouse table, a bargain from FB marketplace. It’s been sanded down to remove the varnish without removing too much of the natural patina. I’m now trying to decide between wax, stain or a clear sealer. 🤔🥰 Happy Friday folks! 🌸

The kitchen garden is casually moseying along with

The kitchen garden is casually moseying along with the cool spring we’ve had. I sowed climbing beans, spinach and edamame beans directly outdoors a week ago and they’re all up and thriving. I was hoping for more blooming flowers for cutting before now, but that said the ranunculus all have buds, the anemones are beginning to put on a show and the sweet peas are climbing. There will be flowers for cutting and lots of veggies to harvest before too long. How is your garden doing? 🌿🥕🥦💛🧄🌸 Happy peak of the week to you!

P.s if you zoom in you’ll see where I positioned the new composter @hozelock sent out, doesn’t it blend in well! 🌿 (gifted)

How has your week started? I’ve had lots of ques

How has your week started? I’ve had lots of questions about the plant theatre lately. So I thought it would be helpful to answer the most frequently asked here.

The hostas all came back from last year. I bought specimens from @_siennahosta_ and a couple I transplanted from a border to pots earlier this spring. Less chance the slugs will find them 🐌🤞

The astilbes were also transferred from a border that didn’t work out, and they’ll be enjoyed here throughout the summer before transplanting to their final location in the autumn.

The osteospermums / African daisies are mostly a perennial variety called Tresco. The plant tag says they’re fully hardy but time will tell.

I overwintered a couple of vanilla scented nemesia plants in the greenhouse but they don’t look near as good as the plants I picked up this spring. They still smell amazing 🙌

Most of the pots are from @yorkshireflowerpot that I picked up from @quercusgardenplants last summer or the summer before 🤔🪴 I think that covers it! 💛🌿🌸

ad. How was your weekend? I managed some time in the garden after a busy couple of weeks in the studio, and finally got a chance to set up my new EasyMix Composter from @hozelock it was very easy to put together and now lives in the kitchen garden. The best bits so far…

1. It’s super handy having a spot REALLY close by for all my kitchen garden waste.
2. It comes with an easy reference guide you attach to the front so you know exactly what you can and can’t pop in it.
3. It’s fun to roll the drum to mix it altogether, which I can’t help but do now every time I walk past 😂
4. I should have ready to use compost in around 6-8 weeks. I’ll keep you posted on that one in stories. 🌿

The other little guy is a Bokashi composter that now lives in my utility room. I’d never heard of this until @hozelock kindly sent one out to me. It takes all food waste including vegetables, table scraps, fish and meat! 🤯 It’s sealed so there are no unpleasant odours and delivers fertiliser liquid in 5 days and compost in as little as 15 days! This one is a game changer, especially as we don’t get a separate food waste bin collection in my area.

I’ll keep you posted on my composting journey in stories. 🪴

I’m thrilled to be a @hozelock ambassador this year and look forward to sharing more of their products soon, once I’ve tried them first. In order for that to happen it must STOP raining! 🤞😊🙏🌿

Happy Monday Folks 💛

Its blossoms have the mightiest power

The spent tulips from the trough were headed for the compost heap, and a few made a detour to the living room. I cannot get over how tall and thick the stems are. They’re flouncy and fabulous and I love them. I meant to spread them round the house but can’t bring myself to separate this little group. Is it just me or is that bare patch of wall crying out for some little paintings? 😍🤔🌷 Have a lovely evening all!

Tulips in Belfast sinks, another to repeat next year, especially as this is the view from my work studio. 🙌 Once they’re over I’ll replace them with African daisies which do really well in this area, need zero dead heading, and last until the first frost. Do you have a favourite annual or many favourites? 🥰

Hello, I hope you are well? I realised on Saturday morning after sleeping for a solid 8 hours (unheard of) that I’ve been holding my breath for what feels like months leading up to the two year mark. Now the day has past I feel like I can breathe again, the clouds have rolled away and hope is returning. It’s a better place to be. If you’re stuck in the dark, hold on, this too shall pass. 💛

Good morning, the kitchen garden has put on lots of growth in the past couple of weeks and beds are filling up. Peas, broad beans, carrots, kohlrabi, celeriac and potatoes have joined shallots, onions, garlic, and strawberries. I’m aiming for lots of colour in this spot throughout the year. First up tulips, followed by ranunculus and anemones then sweet peas, and dahlias. Here’s hoping for a summer of sunshine. 🌷💛 Happy Monday to you. 🌿

The view from the sewing room, across the courtyard, and up the hill to the kitchen garden… It’s amazing to think that in just a couple of weeks the shrubs in the foreground, the beech hedge, all the way up to the trees on the ridge will be gloriously green. I may even have some more tulips blooming by then, who knows. I hope today is being good to you! ☀️🧵🌳🌲🌷🌿💛

The sky seems extra big today, full of white tipped fluffy clouds moving a mile a minute. …I’ll be keeping the pots huddled together a little longer until the cold snap passes. They are a mixture of tulips, daffodils, violas, pansies, euphorbia purpurea, forget-me-nots, hostas, and a few pots of alliums destined to be transplanted to the potager. I’m hoping to create a @clausdalby worthy display or two this year. My idea of garden joy! 🪴💛

The foxglove border started last year will self seed and continue for many years to come. 🙌 My job for the week is to transplant any rogue foxglove seedlings I find dotted about paths and other random spots to this border to fill it up again. 🌿💛 (pic from last summer)
