Saturday morning and this blog post only half done. I came in from the garden at 9pm yesterday, did a bit, then went out slug foraging around 10pm when it was dark. I have Dahlias in the ground, trying to grow, and slugs trying to stop them. With my help, I hope the Dahlias will…

It gets tricky finding six things happening in the garden when nothing is happening. Other than a few things collapsing after a couple of frosty nights that is. Even going round looking for things is a bit fraught, the decking outside the back door is like a skating rink. Six things happening that are visible…

I'm running late again, in that I am doing this on Saturday, when it's supposed to be done, rather than on Friday. There's a reason, involving cars and batteries, but let's not go there. The garden is dry but we have water. The nights have been cold all week but just above freezing. The world…

There seems to be fair bit of stuff that is perhaps a bit too far on, at risk of getting frosted, vulnerable to slugs. Then there are last year's leftovers, things like Salvia and Plectranthus, that got singed by frost but are still hanging on. Difficult to know what to try and protect, what to…

Well here we are twixt Christmas and a new year, again. I should reflect on the year just gone. . . . . . . . ., there, that's done. Perhaps some resolutions for next year? Nah, don't like the sound of that, let's go with good intentions rather than resolutions. One. Move the tunnel.…

The output from my solar panels gives me a check on how much we've seen of the sun this month and it's not a lot. It's still already higher than for the whole of December last year though. The total for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week wouldn't have brewed a cup of tea. In…

I've done a fair few of these six on Saturday posts and it occurred to me to wonder whether I'd missed anything, so I took a stroll round the garden and noted a few things I thought I might never have included, then came back in and checked. I could do at least three weeks…

One. A cone from my beautiful Pinus parviflora 'San Bo' that I cut down yesterday. A close up lens and photo stacking creates an opportunity to look closely at something I usually walk past with barely a glance. Two. You can pretty much work out from this picture that you are facing north. Prevailing wind…
