25.01.2022 Keep it in the family... I have begun a food growing project at my mother's house, starting with removing some dead and dying hedges in the most sunny, northerly exposed area of her front yard. Early days yet. I have spread pea straw mulch on the soil I exposed, and will continue this in the coming weeks, to prepare the soil for spring time planting. ... Happy days to you all!

19.01.2022 Potted up these bare rooted dulce pepino's yesterday, purchased from a lovely home gardener from the Derwent Valley. Originating from South America, these perennial beauties give a sweet cucumber/melon like fruit in the summer, and can be encouraged to grow as a groundcover, small shrub or tree, depending on your context. I will be nursing these for the coming months, in waiting to plant them out as understory shrub for some clients in the winter time.... Until then, grow babies grow...

12.01.2022 Spent some time today wrangling this Choisya ternata, or Mexican orange blossom, out of Jess and Dale's front yard, to make room for more edible, productive plant friends. I'm inspired and enamoured by plants such as this, despite them being the ones I mostly spend my time ripping out of the ground... Not only does this plant reproduce via flowers and seed, it has the incredible capability of producing new plants as suckers off of its root system. This inventiveness means if... you want to remove it or plants like it from your patch, it is imperative to remove as much, if not all, of its root system to ensure suckers don't sprout from the left overs in the soil. After exposing bare soil in order to remove a plant such as this, it's also a really good idea to replace the plant asap, and if this isn't possible, to cover the soil immediately with mulch/carpet/newspaper/cardboard/anything handy that won't leach nasties into the soil, in order to suffocate any potential unwanted sprouts, and save the exposed soil from erosion. I had left over mulch on hand, so that's what I used to cover this patch, until such time as we fill the space with edible goodness.. The rain today meant I packed up before I could take a proper "after" photo, so have a photo of this lovely family's doggo instead. X

12.01.2022 Winter is coming... Time to lay the stones Fall the dying trees Grow the moss... Read the books Sing the songs Mend the wounds And carry on.... I love you. Please forgive me. I am strong And I am able We have so much work to be done...

11.01.2022 Keeping on the potting up train this weekend. These little babies are red Dutch and green savoy cabbages that I raised from seed in egg cartons. I sewed them thickly to ensure a good strike rate, giving me plenty of babies to choose from.... I carefully separated each seedling, and planted them into their own pots so they have lots of room to grow. I am late in the game raising these seedlings, but I have hope they'll get big and strong enough to face the winter's cold.
