WELCOME TO MY POTTING SHED

You can't beat a dollop of mud a day to keep the Doctor at bay.

Why not follow me about as I garden for money and just for fun in beautiful Nailsworth and its' environs.

What's it all about?

My gardens, that's all and any gardening related stuff I guess you might be interested in.

Where do I garden?

My house is in the centre of Nailsworth. With the wind in the right direction, we get a strong whiff of curry as it floats out of the Passage to India and into our front garden. We never get this smell anywhere else on our premises, which is either a good thing, or a bad one, depending on your point of view. As you now know we have a garden, a small rectangle, at the front of the house, and a triangular courtyard garden at the back. Then there's the Garden Plot, right down in the heart of Nailsworth, which I rent from a local business. This is new as from Autumn 2009 and will take a lot of work to help it become productive. I try to garden for veges at my friend Debbis house and for fun with my next door neighbour.

It adds up to a lot of work. For a relaxing hobby, it's proving stressful at times, but, mostly it's heaven.

There are customers who like me to work for them right through the year, and others who I see during the summer months. This working more days a week in the summer than in the winter, of course. The way to keep the finances stable for me has been to teach on the days I don't garden. Works really well for me. The bills get paid, we haven't starved to death yet and we get to have fun ... sometimes!

Host Of Golden Daffodils

Yesterday; spent a couple of hours on the garden plot. Blow me down, if it didn't rain a bit.

Double digging this bed.




It's a long way down. Hard on the b ack. PILATES. P|ILATES. PILATES.





Didin't get very far in the 2 hours I had, but shifted loads of weeds and roots.




Garlic's looking pretty good. though not as advanced as the ones I put in over the winter. Onions, just beginning to show.

The few mystery (in terms of colour and form) bulbs have thrown up this delight. It's coming home with me. Cute.






TODAY  I    R  BIN MOSTLY Rushing about getting stuff for the building works at home. 


Still managed to run  some of the the wires for the espalier fruit trees and take piccys of  a few Daffs and other things in our garden.





The new, pale pink Hyacinth will go in near this cluster.





Love Fritillery  The white one's not quite in bloom yet.


Here we go then, a few Daffs













And to finish ..........





Perfection!
