Primroses
|
29 December 2011 |
It's a great combination, the first primroses of 'spring' spotted as I walked up to the post box with a Grow Your Own Voucher today....and also enjoying the winter lettuces from my winter vegetables collection, meanwhile, the sparrows, nuthatches, robins and hedge sparrows are all enjoying the wild bird food and sunflower hearts that I was given for Christmas...and the thrushes and blackbirds have been feasting on the halved apples that line the top of the hedge. Me, I'm happy as can be too, because I've got a brand new pair of wellies.....the first in what must be about 16 years, possibly more ....an advert from Argyll wellies! Hope you had a good break, and more fun to come soon! Don't forget t start thinking about vegetable growing and vegetable plants.....in not too long it'll be time to get to grips with the vegetable growing year ahead....mouthwatering vegetables could be all yours!
We are still enjoying the garlic planted in the spring, Solent Wight proved to be especially successful this year, with massive bulbs that have kept very well too - some were used to make some really very tasty garlic ciabatta to complement some pasta sauces yesterday.

Great New Gardening Gifts and Protection for your Vegetable Plants
|
30 November 2011 |
Take a look at the great new range of gardening related products we're now offering.
Most relate to Grow Your Own, with vegetable plants being my real passion.....so there are wonderful cloches and pull-out tunnels, grower frames, raised bed kits and of course a large
range of biological controls - the natural, environmentally friendly way to keep pests such as slugs, caterpillars, vine weevils and ants at bay.
.Perfect for keeping your vegetable plants (and flowers) healthy, with minimal impact on the environment!
I couldn't resist including some of my favourite gardening extras too - such as re-cycled metal sculptures (the love of these started about 12 years ago when I bought one, and it is still going strong in my own garden!) Also some delightful herb planters and terracotta wall plaques with an animal theme, made by Jon, a potter who has his studio just a few miles from me.....then there are signed gardening books and a new boxed 'Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood' boxed gift set containing a voucher for one of my vegetable packs, and either a Bulldog trowel, or a copy of one of my book.Gift vouchers for growing your own vegetables are dispatched within a couple of days, we aim to have other products dispatched from the supplier and with you 7-10 days after ordering....often sooner.
Perfect for giving as gifts....and brilliant as a present for your vegetable plants and the rest of your garden too!
