For the love of food
In all honesty, I haven’t shared the garden for a while because it was a little bit embarrassing but recently I’ve been taking a lot more care and the fruits of my labor are well evident. So, seeing as I’m a little proud at the moment, I shall take you on a tour. This little baby baby [...]
I’m going to hope that Will doesn’t choose today to start reading my blog because I’m going to do something that happens very infrequently. I’m going to admit that he was right and I was wrong. Ever since I asked him to water the garden one afternoon and he gave it what I thought was [...]

I shall start with the success story. All three snow pea seeds I planted in my recent garden makeover, have sprouted and are growing before my eyes. Unfortunately the success ends there. The only other evidence of my plantings that I have seen is one solitary bean stalk out of the three I planted. Deciding [...]
It’s been a long time since I posted photos of my lush, thriving garden. The sad fact is that it’s been a long time since it’s been a lush, thriving garden. I got distracted and before I knew it, things got overgrown, died or were taken over by weeds or ants. The few survivors struggled [...]
As you’ve probably noticed, I love growing my own herbs, vegetables and fruit. I may not have been overly successful with many of my planting attempts but the satisfaction of eating something that you grew yourself far outweighs any effort involved. When I gave my first garden tour earlier in the year, I showed you [...]
I haven’t reported on the status of my vegetable garden in at least a month but it is going very well. Unfortunately the zucchini and squash haven’t fared too well but they are the only casualties of the cold. Above are the first of the Roma tomatoes coming through. I can’t wait until they’re ready [...]
I will never get sick of taking photos of my vegetable garden. I am still flabbergasted by how fast everything grows. The bean stalks are now to the top of their trellis and almost climbing over the fence. I’ll have to put a stop to that (wouldn’t want the neighbours pinching any beans). The tomatoes [...]
I think my vegetable garden is on steroids. Ok not really but that extra-special potting mix is good stuff. The gardens have grown like Jack and the bean stalk since they were planted on the 9th of April (the 13th for the Tomatoes). I have wasted spent quite a few hours out there marveling at [...]
I mentioned the other day that I was about to start my first ‘real’ vegetable garden. I say ‘real’ because until now I’ve been growing little bits of random things in an assortment of pots and containers. It was time to get serious. I did quite a bit of research on raised beds that would [...]
