Hola, I'm on a tight deadline to empty what our home was. Saying goodbye to the houseplants has been more complex than saying goodbye to things that I have gathered over the years. I gave away a whole box of plants today to someone I know will likel...

Hola, Autumn has arrived, and the trees are looking incredibly beautiful with their annual show. The colours that they present are phenomenal, a cascade of golds, ambers and fiery reds. I love the crunch of the leaves under my feet when walking and ...

Hola, fellow plant lovers, At the end of August, I entered the Gardening Club show. I didn't place in any of the craft or flower display classes, but I received a first in pot plants, a second in the grasses, a second in the alpine bowl garden, and ...

Hi there, My life has not been lovable lately. Changes happened at work, and a new committee was elected, which brought with it changes. Not good changes, unfortunately. My ideas to improve things are met with a lot of resistance; it's not a forward...

Hola. We live in a world that is both profoundly beautiful and deeply flawed. On one hand, hatred, division, and ignorance cast a shadow over human existence. Yet, at the same time, nature carries on in quiet harmony, bees, butterflies, and moths fl...

Hola, We are in full swing with the gardening and allotments now, we have been blessed with glorious sunshine for about eight weeks now in the Midlands. I hear some areas had thunderstorms, which we love. As a child we feared them due to the stories...

Hi there, Sorry it's been two months since my last blog—I really don't know where the time goes! Actually, I do… it's working, cleaning, and all the not-so-fun things that eat away at my time, just like they do for most of us who aren't working in t...

A fortnight ago we went on our first trip with the local gardening club to Colesbourne Gardens near to Cheltenham, it is known for its beautiful selection of snowdrops. As much as I love snowdrops I think the similarities' between the 2500 varieties ...

Hi,It has been a while, like nature I just want to sleep in the Winter and hide away. This time I didn't get to as I started working behind a bar so yes that was new as well as my admin job. I even worked most of Christmas and on New Year's Eve that ...

So today, I found out that I am not supposed to sell plants online without a plant license, which is not cheap. So, I have had to remove all of my plants from this site. One day, I will get one, and I will sell my plants online. You can sell plants i...

I didn’t realise that it had been three weeks since my last blog. I have been completely consumed with work and volunteering. My work kindly gave me extra hours, and I have been doing the odd bar shift at work too. It was always one of the things tha...

Hola,We have been harvesting seeds this past week. We have calendula seeds as the plants have gone to seed. They are self-setters, but they are in a pot that we want to use to grow vegetables over the winter, so we decided to harvest the seeds. It’s ...

Hola,I don’t know if you have figured it out by now, but I love to research anything and everything about plants, well, nature in general. When I come to my conclusions, it’s not based on one source but many different sources. After purchasing the fi...

Hello there,So I have been doing a spot of research recently as we have mould in our home there is a number of claims online that certain plants will ensure that you don't have mould or they will absorb it. Apparently ivy (hedrea helix) is one that w...

Since being chipped, it’s like the kittens have been possessed, and they now have it in for our plants. I also think it’s payback for allowing someone to adopt their brother. If I could, I would have kept them together as a family because, unlike wha...
