Totally off Our Grid Out and About
Well its been ages since we've written so whats been going on with us??? The garden is really coming on nicely everything is growing well apart from the the carrots in the mixed bed which aren't growing at all.

A Quick Tidy Up
We spent a few hours in the brief but enjoyable spot of sun doing a bit of tidying and thinning out of the various veggies, that had taken off because of all the rain. We started off by weeding the potato bed and planting the last of the seed potatoes. We used some Maris pipers … Continue reading A Quick Tidy Up
The Greenhouse Life

We are definitely eager to see the difference this year with the hula hoop netted frames Tony made, after a lot of our veggies either got demolished by birds or caterpillars last year.

Acorns and Chestnuts
I've been feeling a bit redundant in the garden since winter has hit. With not a lot to do except a bit of tidying and rubbish weather, there really isn't much to write about. We haven't been on any walks or built anything either, so its all quiet here. Although we have Tony's acorns starting … Continue reading Acorns and Chestnuts
