Room Three has Begun The Autumnal equinox is on us and going forward things are only going to get colder and bleaker.  It sounds quite doom and gloom and this season, although we aren’t having the rain we had last year, the ordinary gentle descent into the cooler weather has been more of a rapid plunge!  It hasn’t been as dramatic as flipping a switch ..read more

Watermelon Jam I recently pulled the plug on my melon garden.  The melons were ready, and the plants were exhausted from their efforts.  It didn’t help that  this was one of the most windswept garden beds with sightlines to the ocean through the front gate.  I have a stable door style gate with windbreak on the top half, although it isn’t often closed and the ..read more

Making the hard chop In the old garden I used to have an amazing orchard.  There were about 30 now mature fruit trees.  I had the space, so I just planted what I wanted without too much thought and consideration.  Although I did have a ‘do or die’ philosophy, which is quite self-explanatory.  A tree would be popped in a hole and left to fend ..read more

Best Valentine’s Day ever! I’m honestly not sure how we are going to top this, and it all revolved around the garden.  I have been on a mission to showcase the vegetables I grow in the meals I make.  I’m a gardener well ahead of being a cook in terms of priorities, passion and ability.  I revel in bringing forth life from bare soil and ..read more

The giant list of things that need to be done. After yesterday’s declaration of good intentions >Yesterday’s post<  I took a moment to write down everything I need to do.  And now I see why I kept it in my head and just procrastinated as a coping mechanism…  It is a tad daunting.  But it is what it is, and is what I got myself ..read more

Good Habits start today. This is just a quick post and a public declaration, that I will be getting stuff done or be publicly shamed. The recent short weeks combined with a new ‘no back to school’ empty nest thing has really thrown the start of my February into disarray.  I feel like  I’ve been waiting for some kind of normal to kick in but ..read more

Heroes and Superstars. The garden has really been pumping out the harvest.  Everyday there is something new to deal with, on top of the things already overwhelming my harvest basket.  It can be so easy to just take yet another zucchini for granted or leave it languishing on the plant a little longer in an obstinate attempt to delay the inevitable, which ultimately results in ..read more

It’s over, move on. January is the strangest month.  It starts in holiday mode.  There is absolutely no expectation to do anything remotely productive, unless it is for personal gain, like indulging in a hobby.   And as the middle month of summer, it is – most of the time – too hot to want to do anything anyway.   I can’t cope in the heat, especially ..read more

Making a Shrubbery In the garden shrubs are generally considered the understated backdrop of the landscape – mini trees that provide the green and occasionally have flowers or fragrance but for the most part aren’t even noticed. In the kitchen shrubs are something else.  They are so amazing that once you make one you wonder why you’ve never done it before.   I am about to ..read more

Happy Anniversary On this day, 18th January, back in 2018 we were embarking on a great change.  We sold our house in the swamp and moved to the seaside.  To be completely honest it was moving from one challenging landscape to another, but what is life without a little challenge?   The last place was at that point where it was done.  The interior was how ..read more
