The weather has been rubbish lately, and so has the frequency of my updates! I have had the last of my cucumbers now. The fact that they were in grow bags hindered them I think, most of the cucumbers were very yellow as the depth of soil could not hold much water. Will have to [...]

Produce
I haven’t been able to get up into the gardens as much as I would have liked over recent weeks, but it has looked after itself quite well with all of the rain we had. We have been enjoying a lot of the fresh veg now coming from the plots. The biggest successes so far [...]

Hydro-Disaster!
I knew things were too good to be true! I went out to the greenhouse to find some of the newly forming tomatos on the hydroponics system had dropped onto the floor with blackened sides to them. After some more investigation, the problems appeared to be more substantial. I had a look at the roots [...]

Landscaped pond and tomatos a-plenty
This week saw the pond area finally finished. It’s such a nice place to sit and listen to the waterfall now. As our garden has 3 levels, we have decided to give each one its purpose. The bottom area is used for a table and chairs, the middle level is a decorative area and the [...]

Mid June

Heat
It has been a weekend of un-seasonable warmth, more than the usual for this time of May. My main jobs have been trying to keep the plants from wilting and dying in 35c heat within the greenhouse. Apart from that, I have been making progress at my Grandad’s place putting in more rows of carrots, [...]

May-hem
May has been quite a busy gardening month for me, what with expanding into my Grandad’s garden with all of the extra plants that I no longer had room for. A lot of the time was spent building the new boxes and beds and I ended up adding more to the box that went under [...]

Expansion
I had been speaking to my Grandad the other day and he suggested that I also use his garden for my overflow of plants. Needless to say I didn’t need to be asked twice. He has a good bit of space in his back garden which is south facing and has a giant wall at [...]
