Autumn garden update
As we hurtle towards winter, I’m working away in my garden to get it ready for next summer.
Six things I did this summer
I’ve had a wonderful summer break, though I’m not sure how relaxing it was. Here’s a catch-up of what I got up to.
Vegetables that pay off
All things considered, what vegetables deliver the best returns on investment in the garden?
Autumn in the vege garden
I haven’t been very attentive to my garden lately, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be eating out of it in the coming months.
Garden time

The lazy woman’s garden
I’m getting lazy and spending less time in the garden. But we’re still harvesting fresh food regularly. How? I’m letting nature do the gardening for me.
Planting leeks
It’s time to plant leeks! There’s a bit of a trick to harvesting a good leek, so I thought I’d take a moment to show you how.
Growing fresh food from kitchen ingredients
Even if you can’t buy seeds, you can still grow a lot with common kitchen and supermarket ingredients.
Marilyn’s Cheesy Leeks
A simple, quick and utterly delicious cheese sauce used by my mother to hide all kinds of vegetables, including my favourite, leeks.
