The garden update reveals slow progress due to a busy schedule. I tackled weeding the raised beds using a weed whacker and plans to add soil for potato planting. Meanwhile, Tony is constructing a wood store from mostly reclaimed materials, reflecting a sustainable approach. More updates are anticipated soon.

Tackling Brambles and Making Homemade Dandelion Syrup
Jump to recipe Today I made a start on getting rid of the insane amount of brambles that had taken over the garden. It looked like a big job but I didn't bother digging them out as they run deep and I have no intention of breaking my back in the process. So I used … Continue reading Tackling Brambles and Making Homemade Dandelion Syrup
From Overgrown to Organised: Vegetable Garden Project
Yesterday was the start of transforming the garden. It is embarrassing to show you the state in which we let the garden get. However, we need to show you how bad it is at the start. Otherwise, you won't know how far we have come when it starts looking like a garden that is loved. … Continue reading From Overgrown to Organised: Vegetable Garden Project
Getting Back to the Van
Last year was a bit of a wash out for the garden and the van. We did go to a few places in Trevor, but after failing his MOT in September we had to put everything on hold due to trying to get help with the work. Not many mechanics like to work on an … Continue reading Getting Back to the Van

Garden Tidy Up
The other day I looked out of the bedroom window and actually cringed at the mess the garden was in. As we had had most of our veggies and fruits for the year, it had been left and ignored and I felt so disappointed with myself. There was the raised bed cover that we hadn’t … Continue reading Garden Tidy Up

We have now been enjoying all the goodies that the garden is now offering, and really enjoying cooking meals that have … Continue reading Finally Producing Produce
Stumps be Gone
Ahhhh those dreaded stumps. We have been trying to get rid of those tree stumps for years. We wrote about trying to remove them ourselves back in February and March 2020 on post Planning and Planning Some More and Not All Heroes Wear Capes and had no success. The tree stumps three just proved way … Continue reading Stumps be Gone
The Garden, Van and a Trip to Wales
I have been writing this post for weeks and every time I come back to it the garden has changed again. I really need to be a bit more consistent with writing but honestly life just gets in the way sometimes. So please forgive the pictures being a bit out of date. The pea trellis … Continue reading The Garden, Van and a Trip to Wales
The Garden in April
I love the garden in Spring! The tree's have some lovely colourful blossoms on, the leaves on all the fruit bushes have all peeped out and the rhubarb has finally started to emerge. The herb bed has some lovely fragrant Wild Garlic which is begging to be made into cheese and wild garlic scones. We … Continue reading The Garden in April
