Lending a Strimmer
She was a friend of a friend of a friend. She was a sole parent, living in a tidy looking suburban house in a rural town. I'd been introduced to her at a gathering of friends a week before and we discovered we lived only a mile from each other, and for some reason the conversation turned to gardening. Her front lawn was manageable I remember her saying, but the back was overgrown and the tool she'd bought just wasn't up to the job. So I offered to lend her mine.
How to start your own allotment or vegetable garden.
Perhaps surprisingly, the global economic climate is not the only reason for the recent increase in our collective desire to start growing our own fruit or vegetables. Allotments (small private gardens) are also seen as great ways to escape and increasingly digital world, and an excellent to regain a connection with the natural order of the earth. Consequently, they are often cited to have a very positive impact on an individual's well-being, and an excellent means to a healthier lifestyle. What follow are some key points to help you start an allotment?
The Garden Wars
My ex is much too precise for this style of gardening. I know it would have driven him mad if I had rows of seeds on our window sill and didn't know what any of them are. My attitude of I'll know when they grow, and I've only planted herbs I use and I'll recognise would not wash with him.
Garden shopping online
I'm going to buy a shed outright. No mortgage, no loan, no stamp duty, no worries. It's going to be my shed and my space and I'm going to defend it with the dexterity of NATO. Because I need space. A shed kind of space.
How I turned my garden into paradise.
Since you can buy just about everything online these days, perhaps, just maybe I could get pots, plants and compost there too? Bingo! Not only did I find ‘practical’ things, but also seemingly infinite choices of colour for watering cans, seats and parasols. The bigger joy is that it arrives without any effort or lifting required and without any need to deal with those people who know.
