Sandra's garden: April 2009
http://sandra-in-the-garden.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Tuesday, April 7, 2009. Letters from Wetville - new blog. It seems time for a spruce up, a tighter focus. Or something. I feel like my blog has become a bit like parts of my garden. Sprawled out with weeds everywhere. No longer with a clear function. So this is my attempt at a slightly altered direction. Saturday, April 4, 2009. While I had the gardening window, I also weed...

Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Friday, August 29, 2008. I just entered the NZ Gardener get growing. I also remember going to that same creek with my brother and Grandad and catching eels. Hoping to take my own children up there to play next school holidays. Thursday, August 28, 2008. Yesterday I bought a new knife. It is made in China by Kuhn Rikon who originally hail from Switzerland. It is very...I mad...

Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Saturday, February 28, 2009. When we awake tomorrow it will be autumn. The signs have been around us as we rise in the dark on work mornings, wear an extra layer until mid-morning, have shrinking gardening time after dinner. A treat tomorrow will be eating field mushrooms, picked about 30km north of us and brought as a gift by dinner guests. Catcher in the Rye. Out of the l...

Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Saturday, January 31, 2009. To freeze or not to freeze is a discussion we seem to have at least every year at my place. Do we need a chest freezer? No Would a chest freezer be very useful? Yes Can we afford one right now. No. So I guess we'll shelve that one until next year. And hope she forgets about the area. Intestinal flora is getting the good treatment. I made some bee...

Sandra's garden: March 2009

Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Isn't that from a movie? It conjures two images for me. Firstly of some incredibly sexy French woman from a James Bond movie. Or secondly when I think of 'provocateur' I think of the history of the seedy Soho area in Inner London, the Seven Dials and the prostitutes who propositioned. Forum: The legacy of neo-liberalism. Sunday, March 29, 2009.

Sandra's garden: December 2008
http://sandra-in-the-garden.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Tuesday, December 30, 2008. Favourite Handyman put the children to bed and I spent the lovely Summer evening in the garden. During the day my daughter and I had come to blows yet again as I was rash enough to try and garden without thinking that she would go wherever I went and copy me. So some tiny kale seedlings which I had sown myself were lost this afternoon. Don't hold...

Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Using up the cupboard day 7. Languishing ingredients targeted today: yeast, treacle, flour. I have five days to use up two containers of yeast if I am to keep within the best before dates. Even if I don't keep within them, I think the signs are clear that I need to be making some bread. I was very pleased with today's effort: oat bread. I am shavi...

Sandra's garden: painting and baking
http://sandra-in-the-garden.blogspot.com/2009/03/painting-and-baking.html
Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Sunday, March 29, 2009. Today Favourite Handyman and Fionn painted the new lean-to. Fionn also painted his clothes and for good measure FH painted a stripe of Fionn's hair. Nobody owned up to giving Brighid a paintbrush but she got paint nevertheless. She mixed hers with soil from my precious blueberry plants. Wandering jew, convulvulus, unidentified spikey weed and slugs.
