Six On Saturday – June 18

June 18, 2022 ~ anfieldgirl ~ 3 Comments

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

Six On Saturday, June 26th

June 26, 2021 ~ anfieldgirl ~ 8 Comments

It's been a few weeks since I took part in Six on Saturday, I've been busy in the garden during the week (I work from home so I get to take my breaks out there) but I keep remembering my blog post on Sunday mornings - doh! Things have moved on a lot in the … Continue reading Six On Saturday, June 26th

Six On Saturday, May 29th 2021

May 29, 2021 ~ anfieldgirl ~ 2 Comments

Where did the time go - I can't believe it's the end of May already! I've been taking part in Six On Saturday for about 6 weeks now and I love being part of this little gardening community all over the world! Thanks to our host The Propagator for the inspiration and encouragement. One - … Continue reading Six On Saturday, May 29th 2021

Six On Saturday – 22nd May 2021

May 22, 2021 ~ anfieldgirl ~ Leave a comment

Six on Saturday - a bit late today as I spent the morning in the garden and then a couple of hours watching Binfield FC in The FA Vase - sadly they didn't win but it was a good game and it was kind of surreal for me listening to the commentators talking about the … Continue reading Six On Saturday – 22nd May 2021

Six On Saturday, 15th May 2021

May 15, 2021 ~ anfieldgirl ~ 6 Comments

Here we are in the middle of May and my Facebook memories are mocking me with images of glorious sunny days this time last year. It's been very showery here in Liverpool this week, but thankfully it seems like the risk of frost has finally passed. It's cold overnight but nowhere near freezing. I ordered … Continue reading Six On Saturday, 15th May 2021

Six On Saturday

April 10, 2021 ~ anfieldgirl ~ 13 Comments

This is my first time taking part in Six on Saturday. It's a kind of gardening round robin that I found on a great blog called The Propagator. The general idea is to do a round up of six things in your garden. Not sure I'll remember to do it every week but I'm going … Continue reading Six On Saturday

April is here

April 9, 2021 ~ anfieldgirl ~ 2 Comments

Here we are in April. The spring bulbs have been glorious. I planted crocus, tulips and daffodils back in October and November and they have been so beautiful. They're nearly all gone now but we've had 6 weeks of fabulous colour. I think we're going to dig up the bulbs and store them away till … Continue reading April is here

So the first signs of Spring have arrived. The bulbs that I planted back in October and November have been peaking through the soil for weeks but finally the flowers have arrived. One by one the crocus are starting to show their colours and they are so beautiful. Vivid purples and yellows so far, with … Continue reading 20 February 2021

While this blog is primarily about my garden and its effect on my mental health, I wanted to share the other great love of my life, which also has a major influence on my wellbeing. I have been a scrapbooker for many, many years. My love of photography sparked a "what do I do with … Continue reading Creative Sanity

January

February 7, 2021 ~ anfieldgirl ~ Leave a comment

Winter still hasn't really hit us hard here - but we have had much more frost and a few flurries of snow. The soil in the raised beds is solid and the lettuce and parsley had given up the ghost by the end of the month. The strawberries don't seem to notice or care about … Continue reading January
