Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
During the recent winds you’d have been forgiven for thinking that there were no bees at all in the hives at the bottom of the garden. Wind, rain and bees don’t really mix so they were all hiding away in their hives and sitting out the storm. As soon as the winds drop though they...
Autumn is here, so time to plant the bulbs ready for next year. Anna’s Mum kindly offered to buy me some Alliums for my birthday. My birthday isn’t until December but we couldn’t wait until then to plant them so I ordered some online and spent part of Wednesday afternoon in the garden planting them out....
Autumn may be well and truly here, but there is still a splash of colour in the garden. As the leaves fall, the bright red stems of the Dogwood are becoming visible and this should remain a feature throughout the winter. There are still some flowers out there as well though. The Marigolds continue to...
The sunshine really does make things nicer. Borth and Ynyslas are nice all the time, even when it’s blowing a gale and pouring with rain it has a certain, exposed charm all of its own, but when the sun is out and ‘the living is easy’ it can’t be beat. These last few days have...
During a brief break in the weather yesterday we managed to get out in the garden and not only mow the lawn but harvest some vegetables too. Onions Courgettes Yellow Courgettes Tomatoes Carrots Parsnips Beans Beetroot Spring Onions Not a bad haul really and it made for a delicious dinner. We certainly got more than...
Despite the high winds and very autumnal weather we’re having, the garden is still producing for us. The herbs are all still doing well and so is the veg. We dug up our last crop of potatoes recently and have been gradually munching our way through the beetroots. There are some onions that look just...
I’ve just come across a photo of the water feature in our garden from November 2010 so thought I’d take a photo of it today for comparison. Strange to think that in just 90 days it could go from what it is now to the slightly colder looking version on the right. I guess that...
The garden has been coming on well this year. It took a while to get going following the big freeze that was winter 2010-2011 but most things seemed to have pulled through in the end and some things are doing well. We could do with a bit more height here and there in the garden,...
Our hard work on the garden is beginning to pay off. As well as looking nice out there, we’ve already had some garden produce. As well as the strawberries we’ve had a few raspberries with plenty more on the way. The blackcurrants and red currants seem to have been striped by the birds, but we’re...
