The Garden Returns

March 5, 2023April 6, 2023 ~ anfieldgirl ~ 3 Comments

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

April 2022

May 10, 2022 ~ anfieldgirl ~ Leave a comment

I spent the first half of April out of the country and so I had decided not to plant any seeds before I went away. The seed planting started in earnest on our return and as I write this in May I'm starting to see the first of my seedlings emerge. But more of that … Continue reading April 2022

MIA

March 13, 2022March 5, 2023 ~ anfieldgirl ~ Leave a comment

I just wanted to come back and do a catch up post before Spring starts in earnest. I just fell out of the habit of blogging last year - the garden kept me so busy and with normal life resuming slowly month by month I felt my time was well spent growing and tending rather … Continue reading MIA

April is here

April 9, 2021March 5, 2023 ~ 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

Mid March Update

March 17, 2021April 9, 2021 ~ anfieldgirl ~ 2 Comments

Another four weeks have flown by. We're still in lockdown but the easing of restrictions is getting ever closer. We have just passed the one year anniversary for most of us who are working from home. I know it's been so hard for so many people, the mental strain of being apart from other people … Continue reading Mid March Update

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

December

February 7, 2021 ~ anfieldgirl ~ Leave a comment

The first frosts arrived in December. Not many, but the odd morning of crisp white shimmer on the grass and bulbs. December is another month I rarely see the garden so it was lovely to be here. Feeding the birds, watching the skies full of clouds and rain. December would normally be a manic month, … Continue reading December

November

December 27, 2020 ~ anfieldgirl ~ 4 Comments

We have a cherry blossom tree in our garden, it's gorgeous but it's huge. This year growing so many vegetables and flowers has made us realise how much shade this tree throws onto the garden so we decided to give it a bit of a trim this year so towards the end of October we … Continue reading November

October

December 27, 2020 ~ anfieldgirl ~ Leave a comment

October was a funny old month. It felt warmer than September and despite the evenings drawing in we still spent some time out in the garden. We took a week off work at the beginning of October to do some tidying up in the garden - just starting to get everything ready for Autumn. We … Continue reading October

August – More of the same

November 25, 2020December 27, 2020 ~ anfieldgirl ~ Leave a comment

Looking back on my photographs for August I can see that it rained. A lot. This makes me happy for two reasons - photographing rain drops on leaves and petals is wonderful and secondly the success of watering the garden is vastly improved if most of the water is falling out of the sky and … Continue reading August – More of the same
