Six on Saturday – 22 March 2025
A very quick Six On Saturday from me this week. Spring is definitely here now - we've had a lovely dry week (just a few showers overnight) and the garden is really responding. Please join us for Six on Saturday, if you'd like to share six things from your own garden. The participant guide is … Continue reading Six on Saturday – 22 March 2025
Six On Saturday – 8 March 2025
After another long absence from participating in Six On Saturday I've decided to start up again. So this week's six photos are all on the theme of newly emerging plants. We had a big clear up last weekend and had the patio and path jet washed. Once this was done it was time to move … Continue reading Six On Saturday – 8 March 2025
That was a long break!
Well it feels like deja vu - the nights get lighter and I get back out into the garden, then I remember I have a gardening blog! Last year was another tough year - I had some health issues and dealing with that and some other things really took their toll on me mentally - … Continue reading That was a long break!
Where did summer go?
Another summer has nearly gone and I've not done any updates here. It's been a tough old spring and summer for me. I have been to almost as many funerals this year as I have in the rest of my life - losing so many family members and friends in such a short space of … Continue reading Where did summer go?
Six On Saturday – April 8
I haven't contributed for ages though I read SOS posts every week. I've had a good week in the garden so I thought I'd share some of the joy! Snakeshead Fritillary - I grew these for the first time last year - I had one flower from the 10 or 12 bulbs I planted. This … Continue reading Six On Saturday – April 8
Starting to come back to life – March 2023
As you can probably tell from the first few photos, March was a month of contrasts. Lots of new growth appearing, pushing its way through the soil, only to be quickly buried by snow on the 10th! Thankfully it disappeared as quickly as it came (fell overnight and was gone by the same lunchtime!). We … Continue reading Starting to come back to life – March 2023
The Garden Returns
After yet another lengthy period away from my blog (some of it just because of winter... some of it because of sheer laziness) the Garrett Garden returns. With a promise to do a monthly update. Once a month, looking back at the previous month seems manageable. I've even put it in my calendar. I find … Continue reading The Garden Returns
Six On Saturday – June 18
I haven't done one of these for a while, and this will be a quick one. I'm attending an online Menopause festival today - learning lots and remembering that my garden is the perfect place to go and take a breath when the realities of being a perimenopausal woman start to get me down. Six … Continue reading Six On Saturday – June 18
