October 28, 2021 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Grow Your Own Boxes Straight To Your Door with Wild Wales Seeds

May 20, 2021 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

When the pandemic hit in March 2020, I think it is fair to say that those of us with access to outdoors space embraced gardening like never before.

Plans For the Veg Patch 2021

February 4, 2021 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

Our Very Own Compost Heap

May 8, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I have thought about composting for a while on the farm. Knowing very little about it (apart from what could go in it), I started off last year with an old oil drum. I threw in the odd bit of food waste-vegetable peelings and that kind of thing and then mainly used it as a … [Read more…]

Plans For The Vegetable Patch 2020

April 28, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I think it is fair to say that before the outbreak of Covid-19, I didn’t really have any plans for my vegetable patch. I was simply going to just carry on from where I left off last year and plant a variety of things and see which grew. As soon as the virus hit though … [Read more…]

Things I’ve Learnt From Gardening

December 20, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

This year has definitely been a learning curve when it comes to gardening. I have learnt a lot. I have been on courses, read books and magazines about it and generally acted like a sponge when any information has come my way. I don’t like to keep things to myself so I thought I would … [Read more…]
