The late summer harvest - growing apples and pears - dig the outside
http://www.digtheoutside.com/2013/08/29/growing-apples-and-pears
August 29, 2013. The late summer harvest – growing apples and pears. I love growing apples and pears and I’m so lucky to have two mature trees in my allotment garden. They were both planted around 4 years before I took over the plot and I’ve been there around 10 years myself now. Baby pears last month, I love the way they grow up in the air! Pears seem to be a lot easier to store, they last longer and they get eaten by Adam very quickly so it’s just apples that I need to work on. Fruit blossom in spring.

Setting the scene for the autumn garden - dig the outside
http://www.digtheoutside.com/2013/10/02/autumn-garden
October 2, 2013. Setting the scene for the autumn garden. This weekend felt like summer again, it was sunny and warm and as well as starting my big autumn garden clean up I also enjoyed spending time outside relaxing, tending to the last of the harvest and noticing the changing shapes and shades of autumn. I’m hoping for a sunny October, the reality might not be so good but I still enjoy the plants that continue to thrive despite the changes in the weather. The persicaria provides great ground cover and ...

My Mediterranean inspired container garden - dig the outside
http://www.digtheoutside.com/2013/09/03/my-mediterranean-inspired-container-garden
September 3, 2013. My Mediterranean inspired container garden. I love container gardening because I can create gardens in the smallest of spaces and I can easily change my displays as often as I want. I first posted about my little container garden. At the front of my house in May, when I had a really colourful display of spring bulbs in containers around my front door. Inspired by the planting schemes and container gardens I saw during my holiday in Provence,. These classic red pelargoniums. Since my po...

Welcome to the jungle - the garden has taken off! - dig the outside
http://www.digtheoutside.com/2013/07/30/welcome-to-the-jungle-garden
July 30, 2013. Welcome to the jungle – the garden has taken off! Since my last post from the garden. In late June/early July things have developed drastically! While I’ve been away on holiday the plants have grown, or should I say over-grown in the remarkable British weather! Adam was a little worried that the sprinkler system he set up would not work…but it did. We returned to an abundance of foliage, crops and what I can only describe as a jungle in the pumpkin patch! The first of many. I’m full ...

Back from the snow and into the snow... - dig the outside
http://www.digtheoutside.com/2013/01/20/back-from-the-snow-and-into-the-snow
January 20, 2013. Back from the snow and into the snow…. Surprise that we suddenly get a massive dump of the fluffy white stuff just when everyone was starting to enjoy the unusually mild winter! I’ve had a wonderful holiday in Andorra, hitting the ski slopes, where there was a slight lack of snow (but enough to ski and snowboard) and I must say that coming back was a REAL downer. Wow! 8216; series. I’m absolutely no expert but people keep asking me what they should/could be doing in their gard...As well...

The allotment in June - what's growing on?! - dig the outside
http://www.digtheoutside.com/2013/06/03/the-allotment-in-may-whats-growing-on
June 3, 2013. The allotment in June – what’s growing on? The weather has been amazing! I hope it’s been good with you too. As a result of this I’ve been busy in my greenhouse, garden and veggie patches and I’ve neglected blogging for some time. I’ve literally been getting home from work, gardening and sleeping for weeks now. Great work life balance, but not so great for the work blog life balance! However, I’ve been given a bit of a kick start back into things via Michelle at Veg Plotting. The tulips are...

Seed list 2013 - my year of experimental growing - dig the outside
http://www.digtheoutside.com/2013/01/04/seed-list-2013-my-year-of-experimental-growing
January 4, 2013. Seed list 2013 – my year of experimental growing. In my last blog post. I wrote about the seedlings that I’ve got growing/germinating/thinking about (hopefully) germinating in January. I’ve also been right through my seed collection and grouped everything into zip lock bags, an idea I saw someone post on twitter – last year I had a disaster with an automatic watering system so waterproofing is required! I’ve totally discovered that I have far too many though! Here’s the list! Cornflowers...
