I have a lovely dwarf mulberry which needs to go to a good home. It gets about 2 kilos of mulberries every year. If anyone wants it they'll need to dig it up plus provide whatever they need to…Continue

May 2010:
As they grew I piled them up with horse manure and mulch just leaving a little bit of green poking out.

Starting over (kind of)

I’ve never blogged before. I figure it might be a good way to keep track of what I’m doing with my veggie beds each season, since I seem to be rubbish at keeping notes as I go. So, this might be a good time to start as my beds are going to have a rest while we are away for a month, then I’ll be starting…

Yes Tracy,
It was lovely to meet you and have a chat. So many people are striving for sustainability. There are so many aspects to our lifestyles. I hope you can come and visit us some time. Also we are happy to drive to visit your family too. We bought a hybrid, still not sure if it is really helping the planet...but it is cheaper to run that is for sure. I do quite a lot of driving, which is one thing I need to learn to replace with walking more. Driving the car is my most difficult challenge in sustainability.
I had to make a new banner cos I lost the old photos. I've stolen your magnificent tomatoes pick for it - I hope that's ok
cheers Scarlett
Or serendipity! :-)
Well hopefully your future cucumbers will be marvellous :)
