If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant. If we did not sometimes taste of adversity,. Prosperity would not be so welcome. Anne Bradstreet [Meditations Divine and Moral]. With the winter we had, spring was especially welcome. June 26, 2014 at 1:20 PM. It would take a lot of goodness to bore me. June 26, 2014 at 4:38 PM.

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...

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 ...

August 5, 2013. A week in Provence – the ‘no gardens’. I’ve just returned from a much needed holiday with Adam in the beautiful Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. In France. As well as enjoying typical Provencal 3 hour lunches I’ve also been admiring a multitude of gardens. When garden writer Louisa Jones. A while back I wrote about my container garden. I think the water bottles are used to deter cats. Also handy to give the plants a quick watering. I loved walking through the streets getting ideas for my own g...

Summer favourites - sweet peas - dig the outside
http://www.digtheoutside.com/2013/09/07/summer-favourites-sweet-peas
September 7, 2013. Summer favourites – sweet peas. I have to admit that I’ve never picked sweet peas for the house before and I’ve only been growing them for a couple of years. I used to think the sweet candy coloured varieties that were popular years ago were sickly and a little kitsch but after buying a willow planter full of them two years back, I’ve changed my mind! So much so, I even started sowing the seeds for this summer back in November. My experiments with sweet peas:. C) April: Sowed tons of s...
