Welcome to my blog!

Here, I journal the transformation of our tiny London backyard into a dream garden. I hope you will like it!

A dream garden, for me, is an outdoor space filled with rich colours and seductive scents, offering beautiful flowers, interesting textures and tasty morsels for our delectation. Also a source of nourishment for the local wildlife - birds, butterflies and bees. A space to enjoy with my SO, friends, family, and, of course, our cats. Somewhere to sit and have coffee, or even a meal, and a tiny patch of grass to lie on in the fleeting sunshine of the English summer. And, we're almost there...

Unless stated otherwise, all photos are by me (or my SO) and are clickable.

New Season

Happy New Growing Year, everybody!

Today, I sowed the first seeds of 2012.

Chillies Serrano, small (3-5cm) and hot

Chillies Anaheim, milder and up to 20cm long

Tomato San Marzano, plum cooking variety

Finally, a highly scented Sweet Pea Beaujolais

The above pictures were all Google image searches; fingers crossed that the seeds I sowed today will result in similar (or better) yields!

    Oooh, I look forward to trying your produce this summer! Will you have to cover any of the plants or are they alright just to grow in the soil? How much care will you have to take over them?
