Ikea Växer Update

I think hydroponics are my new favorite form of growing. Okay, I lie, I don’t think I will ever fully handover the ‘hands in dirt’ feeling of digging around in the garden, but for now hydroponics hold my heart. The reason for this? I’ll get to that…* Here we are, a month on or so, […]

New Year’s Resolutions…

January 1, 2018

The wheels fell off this blog a little bit. If you read along then you will know that sometime last year we moved into a house with a garden – actual dirt in the ground garden. I was beyond excited and began planning my new plot. And then the bureaucracy turned up. Switzerland is a […]

Tips To Get Kids Gardening

Kids have a lot of things competing for their attention these days, and it can be hard steering them away from the tablets and television, toward an arguably more wholesome pursuit of being outside in nature. It can also be pretty difficult to get children into gardening because ultimately gardening is an exercise in patience, […]

Growing Potatoes in Containers

The first year I ever grew potatoes, my then-girlfriend-now-wife and I threw some manky tats from the back of the cupboard into some recycled car tires filled with compost.

Avoseedo: an easy Way to Grow Avocados

I eat quite a lot of avocados. When I was living in Africa, we would go down to the end of the garden and pick the avocados straight from the tree. They’d ripen over the next few days, and before you’d know it, you’d have tons of avocados just to happily much through. Now, in […]

Growing Courgettes In Containers

Courgettes, also known as zucchinis in North America, are robust and fruitful plants. If given the right conditions, you do not only get a wealth of fruits, but you can also grow them on a bit to get a couple of marrows per container plant. Best of all, however, you get to harvest the flowers, […]

Growing Outside

Growing Outside

I’ve spent the weekend pottering and reading, weeding and drinking cups of tea. The weather has a warmth behind it, and on a walk recently I did not take a jacket. And for the first time in almost half a year, I did not regret that choice. Whilst pottering, and tidying up the roof terrace, […]
