Planting seeds to grow your own zucchinis can be a whole lot of fun. I love watching the seeds sprout as they unravel and reveal the makings of a new plant. It is so exciting when they reach the four leaf stage, because you know it’s time to plant them out and watch them [...]

About this blog

My garden is my sanctuary it's the place where I like sit and watch the world go by with a cup of coffee. I am a passionate gardener and I love to cook using what I have grown. Admittedly my garden is small, but I have a plan, a plan to grow a huge kitchen garden and become mostly self sufficient. My garden works on the basis of companion planting and I use organic sprays when needed. I prefer to eat home grown produce as it's full of flavour, saves me money and is chemical free. I like to find ways to save money, recycle and reuse things where ever possible. I am not a pack rat honestly just resourceful! Taking photographs is another pleasure of mine I love photographing flowers any flower from weeds to trees. Yes I'm opinionated, I love to shop and appreciate beautiful things, I'm a women. Lastly I love to laugh, laughing is good for the soul, it's the best medicine on earth and it's free. See I told you I am resourceful.
