Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I was contacted the other day by someone from Rowse Honey telling me that they were planning on planting loads of plants especially for honey bees around the country and asking if I’d like to get involved by helping to spread the word. The idea is that they’ll plant a lavendar plant in community gardens...
You can’t beat this time of year, especially when the weather is as good as it has been, and where better to spend it than in the garden. Everytime I go out there things seem to be coming on better than they were just a few hours prior. Plants are popping up everywhere and the...
It’s been a long wait, but the Alliums that I planted out (as part of a birthday present) back in October of last year are finally making an appearance. Every time I look at the little border along the conservatory there are more appearing. The edges of the border need tidying up and I could...
I mentioned the other day that the bees were busy. Well, they’re at it again, out enjoying the Spring sunshine and feasting on the pollen and nectar from out little patch of crocuses. As new beekeepers who are just coming out of their first winter with bees, it’s a lovely sight to see. It must...
We may have had some of the coldest temperatures of the winter last week, and the rest of the UK is currently under a blanket of snow and ice, but not so here in West Wales. The temperature hasn’t got anywhere near freezing today, there hasn’t been any snow in sight and even that on...

We picked the pumpkin yesterday. We’ve been growing it from seed it all year and it’s a whopper – Well, it isn’t that big but considering that it is supposed to have been a bad year for pumpkins then we think we’ve done quite well. The ones that you can buy in the shops are...
I do like this time of year, even the gardening is quite nice. OK it may seem like the end of the year as everything is dying back and the garden is beginning to look a little dreary but the tidying jobs are fun. Preparing the garden for winter feels a little like tucking a...
Halloween is nearly here so it’s time to pick the pumpkin that we’ve managed to grow in the garden this year. We’ve only managed to cultivate one, but it’s quite a big one so should be perfect for carving into a halloween pumpkin. I think we’re going to go with an ‘Angry Bird’ carving this...
Just another photo of the Narcissus now that it’s fully open.
