the clay garden: May 2013
http://theclaygarden.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Country living in a council flat. Down the garden path. Path as it is - concrete and straight. Boring. I have a dilemma. I'm taking the next week off, and one of the many things I plan to do is dig up our old garden path, and put in a new one. I think I'm going to make it a brick one to match the house. I realise it's going to take me a lot longer than I think. And I think it's going to take me quite a long time. I'm in two minds - a curved path following roughly the same route?

the clay garden: The Greatest flower show on earth...
http://theclaygarden.blogspot.com/2011/06/greatest-flower-show-on-earth.html
Country living in a council flat. The Greatest flower show on earth. That said, the gardens are supposed to be inspirational, not models for what to do at home, and they have definitely provided food for thought. I did love the wilder, mixed planting look, and can feel an overhaul of our lacklustre perennial bed coming on. I also came away with some new plants that I absolutely loved:. Like a pink cow parsley, but perennial. Again - pink flowers, but mostly green, and so pretty. I so want a Mulberry tree!

Country living in a council flat. The latest documentary I directed and produced is airing on PBS this evening. It's all about the science of why you look the way you do.

the clay garden: A Peaceful bit of Peckham
http://theclaygarden.blogspot.com/2011/06/peaceful-bit-of-peckham.html
Country living in a council flat. A Peaceful bit of Peckham. Some friends took us to see Choumert Square. As part of the National Garden Scheme. Today It's a little hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Peckham, South London. The 'square' is actually a single private street lined with a patchwork of tiny front gardens. Each is very different, but every one is thoughtfully planted and beautiful. Joan - who greeted pretty much every visitor and told them a bit about the 'square'. 6 June 2011 at 18:45.

the clay garden: Month by Month
http://theclaygarden.blogspot.com/p/month-by-month.html
Country living in a council flat. So here's my garden. All of it - the good bits and the bad. As the months go by I'll post a new photo of each area below. It will get more interesting I promise! February - winter veg still there, new season garlic and overwintered broad beans in already. March - Kale flowering, potatoes in, still a bit bare though. June - growing like crazy! Courgettes coming up on the far right. Strawberries cropping nicely. October - I missed September! Veg Patch and rose border.

the clay garden: The flower eaters
http://theclaygarden.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-flower-eaters.html
Country living in a council flat. Parrots - messy eaters. Now why would these perfectly good blossoms be lying around on the pavements near our house? It's not been windy, there have been no hard frosts, and the tree is in good health. Looking up, I spotted the answer. the green parrots of South London (no that's not an April fool - London, and parts of the South East have a resident population of parrots. They seem to like eating the flowers. Which I think is totally charming. A Peaceful bit of Peckham.

the clay garden: A modest harvest
http://theclaygarden.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-modest-harvest.html
Country living in a council flat. I've been asked to document this weekend's harvest. In part because getting anything out of the vegetable garden at all with the weather this year feels like a total result. But mostly to out-smug some close relations of my co-gardener. She has a fiercely competitive streak when it comes to growing vegetables, and photographic proof of produce is the best way to show her clear superiority in the green fingers department.
