The pace is picking up. The sun is shining, the flowery stuff is really starting to kick off. I've sowed more seeds, taken the first Fuchsia cuttings and finished chopping down all of last years dead herbaceous growth. In the autumn I sowed lettuce and potted them up in the greenhouse; we've had a couple…

We're off to get our jabs this morning, it feels almost like a day out, given that we are going to the Wadebridge Showground; twenty miles away, quite an outing. On top of a hill in North Cornwall when there are warnings out for rain and 50mph wind gusts forecast. Quite an outing. It's been…

The temperature yesterday reached 6.8°C, the warmest for a week, not that it felt remotely warm with the wind trying to go through me. This morning it's trying to rain, not pleasant at 2°C and still blowing. The only gardening I've done this week is armchair gardening. I've been trying to sort out digital photos,…

Throughout the winter I have struggled to find six things going on in the garden and have toyed with different angles, six gardening books, six tools, six views from a window, six types of rain. Now that the days are lengthening and things are waking up and starting to do their thing, I'm thinking of…

Having rained all night, it's due to clear into a half decent day. We'll see, at the moment it doesn't look promising. It was forecast so I made sure I had some pictures in the can yesterday. I was thinking I might be able to find half a dozen things flowering even after the cold…

Yesterday wasn't much of a day for scurrying out between showers to see if anything was happening. Not a lot if truth be told, so I've had to be a bit creative. It's a lot easier for me than many I know and I'm always impressed that so many people find something going on even…

At the end of a week of gardening where I barely engaged with plants at all, I'm going to do six plants. I just looked back to last week's six and I'd barely started on my fence. Somehow I've pressed on through rain and shine and it's now finished. I've tidied up and turned my…

I just spent the last hour blasting mealy bugs off cacti, at which point the skies opened and I ran for cover. Such a glamorous life. I was expecting to be fencing this weekend, the kind with bits of wood, not swords. Unfortunately only part of what I'd ordered was delivered, so now the rest…

One good intention that has so far fallen flat is the one about doing a bit more blogging while in theory I have more time to do it and readers more time to read it. I have excuses, the weather was too good and my allotment is a mess after a winter of doing nothing;…

I am just so thankful that I have a decent sized garden to keep me occupied, distracted, isolated and sane. It's all been said, I'll move on. If there's one thing in the garden that will lift your spirits it's flowers and by good fortune the weather has taken a turn for the better this…
