Don’t be afraid of the discount aisle in your garden centre. Because now is the best time to fill your garden by splitting your perennials.

Or, if your clever, scouring the discount aisle of your garden centre for out of season bargains!

These can be bought for a fraction of the cost, and if split before planting can fill your garden quicker.

Look for anything that has new growth coming and a good root system. Don’t worry if it’s not flowering, it will next year 👍🏻

Plenty of cuttings being taken and splitting being done this week! It’s a perfect time for these jobs as it gives the new plants time to take before the winter months 🌸

One of my favourite planting combinations for summer is the bubbly clouds of verbena bonariensis, underplanted with the spires of Gaura.

Both have a long flowering period, from May/June through to the first frosts. I love plants that work hard for me 🥰

I’ve been waiting all summer for my dahlias to bloom. Then like busses they have all come at once.

It’s been a very odd year for a lot of plants, but now we have had some rain they seem to be doing a lot better.

What’s struggled in your garden this year?

It’s tomato season! We are picking 1kg every couple of days atm, and it’s far too much to eat. So we now have a freezer full of tomato soup for the winter months.

I’ve decided I live my life with multi colours, just look at my basket of tomatoes 🌈 our chickens lay different coloured eggs too 🤣

We have three layers now, not bad going for 2 weeks! I love having different breeds so we can tell who’s laid what and when.

Noodle has been a surprise as she was supposed to be, and looks like a Blackrock Copper Maran. But she’s laying cream eggs instead of stereotypical Maran’s dark brown
🤷🏻‍♀️

Philly is a Coucou Maran and true to her breed lays the dark brown egg

Sophie is a Warren, a typical ex commercial hen who lays the normal light brown eggs.

Then there’s Glinda, the baby of the flock who’s yet to lay! We have no idea of her breed, she’s pure white, flighty and has a crest like a polish. We are hoping she’s an Easter Egger who lays green or blue tinged eggs… but time will tell!

Plenty of veggies and salad coming in atm. It’s been a tough year with moving and trying to keep on top of watering three gardens. But we are more settled now and next year will be more organised again 🥰 Are you managing to keep on top of watering this year?

A huge haul of onions and garlic yesterday! Having been away on holiday for 10 days we needed to harvest them asap so we could plant our sweetcorn. Check out the size of the elephant garlic, which is as big as my hand. Plenty of potatoes too and a couple of courgettes to add to this weeks dinners.

Today has been a day I’ve been dreading. Operation “move the greenhouse” 🙈

I was sure there would be complications, broken panes and a lot of drama. But it took three of us 6 hours exactly to take down, transport and rebuild it. With NO broken panes in sight!

A huge thank you to John Godwin and Craig Rose for being so amazing today! Your both stars 🌟

Operation “New Home” means giving the planters a new lease of life and a lick of paint. Help from the kids means one planter each and only a 30 minute job 🥰

So far it’s taken us 4 weeks to transform our new garden. We are hoping we get it all sorted before we move in, in mid July. Here is another corner that we managed this weekend. From dumping ground to our shady pots area, our acers are still to make the move next week 🥰

IMPORTANT UPDATE. This was me yesterday trying to shelter while being caught out in a torrential (20 minute) downpour.

Even though my app suggested showers all morning I decided I was going to work between them as I hate letting people down!

However, yesterday made me realise there’s nothing more miserable than having water pouring off you, and I made the decision there and then that if it has forecast persistent showers on and off, I will be staying indoors in the dry and will be rearranging appointments. 👍🏻

We have a challenge on our hands!

We have signed a contract on our new home, however the garden has been neglected for over a year. Thankfully the landlady is letting us have access to it before we move in, so when we move it’s one less thing for us to worry about.

Don’t let renting put you off doing the garden. I was in my last rental for nearly 17 years, so had made it my own. I couldn’t live without a nice outdoor space!

I’m planning on filling the new one with all my cuttings, plants I’ve split and seedings I’ve grow. This new garden is 4 times bigger than the one here, but I’m practically filling it for free!

A lot of my peonies and dahlias are all in pots! Great for taking wherever we go with no stress or cost!

Gardening doesn’t have to be expensive. It just takes a little thought!

Here’s a snippet of how we are getting on 🥰

Came back from our holiday to a glut of produce. So today we have been making tomato soup, sampling our delicious sweet corn, blanching green beans and putting more onions in the greenhouse to dry out. Tomorrow I’ll be braising our first red cabbage 🥰

Todays harvest! I do find it’s hard at this time of the year. Most of the veg we are picking feels like it should be eaten in Winter. But we just don’t have enough freezer space to store until then 🙈
