Changing the ooil in the Merry Tiller, shock bill for the strimmer and a warning for us all about using stale old petrol
Making the most of a rarity, sunshine. Planting out the runner beans and harvesting the last of the over-wintered cauliflowers
Answering email about cabbages, building the rhubarb containers, potting on brassicas and spending a fortune on a new wheelbarrow.
The strimmer broke down and then the Merry Tiller wouldn't start but all happily sorted with a little help from my friends. And growing rhubarb like the master.
A glorious day getting the comfrey bed planted out, another raised bed and potatoes nearly ready - the flowers told me so
Over to Moelyci environmental centre near Tregarth to pick up a few tonnes of compost with help from our neighbour. Fascinating seeing it made on this scale
Reviewing a book on growing in wet conditions like Ireland and Wales, our first cauliflower at this house shows my romantic side and a fabulous cactus.. in Wales!
Planting out the tomatoes in the greenhouse and foliar feeding the potatoes that are beginning to show.
Sheep ate my homework (well brassicas), wrote a song and making extra large greenhouse grow bags. Then, to add to the fun, my strimmer died but a beautiful peacock visited.
A visit to the top vegetable grower in the UK, if not the world, Medwyn Williams. I've lost count of the number of RHS gold medals he holds!
Clearing a patch to plant my comfrey for compost and my thoughts in answer to a question on weedkillers and organic growing
Planning for new compost bins and how to build them. What is the best compost bin for my needs.
Building new raised beds and filling them leaves me with better growing and a bad back!
A cheap control unit for the propagators, potting on tomatoes and burning wood
