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. With the amount of gardening programmes now gracing our television screens a year on, I don’t think this is going to diminish any time soon. I admit … [Read more…]

Plans For the Veg Patch 2021

February 4, 2021 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

The year 2020 will be synonymous with many things when we look back. Our live changed more than ever before. I started my veg growing in earnest in 2019 and, when the first lockdown hit in March 2020, I don’t think anyone imagined they would encounter seed shortages and plant pot hoarding. If anything else, … [Read more…]

Farm Life, August 2020

August 26, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

  August has been a funny old month on the farm. As always, it has been the weather which has dominated everything. Very hot and wet weather seems to be the norm now in the UK summer time but it really does not correspond well with hay making.   Having said that, we got a … [Read more…]

Summer In The Farm Garden

August 5, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

My last post about the garden was in early spring and I cannot believe how bare it looked back then. We had been in lockdown for around two weeks then and a lot of time has been spent in our growing area since then. More raised beds were added and I planted things in anything … [Read more…]

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…]

How to Eat Sustainably and Shop Local

January 13, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

I recently wrote a post about how eating sustainably could save the world. It got quite a bit of interest. The problem is though, how do you eat locally and sustainably? It’s all very well people like me saying this is the way forward but some people, quite rightly, are unsure of how to even … [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…]
