Our old greenhouse lost a few panes during Hurricane Bawbag, and somewhat bizarrely the insurance company decided it would rather give us a new greenhouse instead of replacing the two broken panes.So today two guys from Evander turned up with a half-assembled greenhouse.However, the one they brought was significantly bigger than the old one (same width, but much deeper), so...

I'm a member of the Heritage Seed Library, which means that I get five interesting seed packets every winter.This year's delivery included achocha seeds.I sowed them in my greenhouse, and the plant was really vigorous and tried to take the over the world.In the end, it didn't produce a lot of fruit compared to the amount of plant growth –...

We’ve had a dandelion (mælkebøtte in Danish) problem for years. Phyllis has spent countless hours pulling them up by hand, which is a backbreaking and thankless task.
A couple of days ago I then ordered a weed puller from Amazon, and it arrived today.
I was a wee bit doubtful that it would really be worth the money, but it’s great! It pulls up a dandelion within a couple of seconds, and often with the entire root attached.
Parts of it are made of plastic, but it looks reasonably sturdy, so I would definitely recommend this tool to all gardeners!

Det er nu rart, når vinteren endelig siger helt farvel, og man kan sidde udenfor i solen og spise morgenmad uden overtøj på.I år har vejret virkelig haft travlt i den sidste uge – det er præcist en uge siden, børnene byggede årets sidste snemand.Nu gælder det så om at få smidt nogle frø i jorden – hvis det går som det sidste par år, slutter sommeren nok midt i august, så der er ingen tid at spilde!

Da der for en gangs skyld faldt ordentlige mængder sne i den forgange uge, besluttede jeg mig for at bygge en iglo til børnene i haven.Alle danskere har vel i skolen og på TV hørt så meget om Grønland, at principperne for iglobygning er velkendte.Phyllis virkede dog ret chokeret, som om det var noget meget eksotisk og mystisk at bygge...

We noticed that a potato plant had started growing out of an opening in our composter (or our dalek, as we prefer to call it).When I dug it out, it had grown only one new potato, but it was probably...

During our stay in Devon, we went on a daytrip to the Eden Project near St. Austell in Cornwall.It's supposed to be one of the UK's main tourist attractions, and most visitors did look very happy.I thought it was an...
