Another month has flown by and we’re in December and the UK’s in the midst of a cold spell. And it’s time for another collection of blogs to be added to the list here. So pour yourself a nice hot drink, or something stronger if you prefer, put your feet up in front of the fire or under the duvet and pop along to these ten blogs waiting to be discovered.

When I was a child my father gave me a little border of his garden to maintain and grow what I wanted. It was certainly the starting point, the click ….
I didn’t understand until about 30 years, once owner of my house with a large garden. My many trips, from which I brought back seeds and cuttings, have grown this passion, this need to sow and succeed to grow what at first glance is difficult here.
This blog is a new challenge. English is not my native language because I’m French, but I enjoy discovering, learning and sharing what I like…

I look forward to sharing our new adventure with you.

In the UK most of us live within a system that is reliant on external infrastructure, of which we have no control. We buy our food from supermarkets, we get our clean water from a regional water supplier and we get our gas and electricity from the ‘grid’.
Our modern lives depend on this infrastructure working uninterrupted. Most of this infrastructure currently relies on fossil fuels. For example, the supermarkets are stocked with products that are usually shipped in from aboard and trucked across country to the local depo and then on to the supermarket. Supermarkets run an efficient system and don’t spend money stockpiling or storing food in vast warehouses, as many assume. Should deliveries to supermarkets be disrupted for any reason (a fuel strike or shortage for example) supermarkets would probably be empty within 3-5 days. Then what?

Garden Visitor UK

I have always enjoyed visiting gardens and first recall visiting RHS Wisley as a small child, collecting fallen rhododendron petals (fairy hats!) and racing up and down the rock garden (no Health and Safety risk assesments in those days!). My grandmother, Peggy was a great inspiration to me, her plant knowledge and love of gardens made a big impact and I still miss her beautiful garden in Dorking, Surrey.

A Whole Plotta Love

The Gardening Guys

Joe and I met in early 2007, and initially we didn’t hit it off but when we discovered each other’s passion for plants it wasn’t long before we were inseparable and working together on our first joint project – overhauling the balcony at Joe’s flat. I had planned to stay for a week or so whilst we worked on the balcony but we fell in love over our mutual love of plants and we’ve been together ever since.

And that’s it for this month folks. Have a great Christmas. Wrap up warm and enjoy your garden. Next update will be on January 1 2018, thanks to the joys of WordPress scheduling which will allow me to appear sober.
