Like many Northern Hemispherer contributors, I’m sure, I have struggled to whittle my Six on Saturday choices down to the allotted number this week. This is not a complaint, this is a relief. Houston, we have take off! There is still lots to do, with potting on and planting out, but this has slowed toContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Clever”

Six on Saturday – Optimism
Is May my favourite month? Perhaps. Ask me again in June. Whatever I might say in the future, May is certainly up there with the best. It is a time when all things seem possible. Bubbles have yet to be burst. True, we have a few aphid and the nights could be a bit warmer,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Optimism”
Six on Saturday – Rain or Shine
Rain, shine, rain, shine, more raining, more shining. Just make your mind up, is all I can say. April is over, we need a little more consistency and a lot more warmth. It has been a mixed week but, adding up the pluses and the minuses and the indifferent, a good week. If you wantContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Rain or Shine”
Six on Saturday – On Our Way
Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better. That is how I feel about the garden, my garden, other gardens, any garden, at the moment. There are so many things that I can see that are hard to share quite yet, “look, this naked branch has an inkling of green”, “quick! AContinue reading “Six on Saturday – On Our Way”
Six on Saturday – After the Storm
To be honest, I’m surprised anything is still standing in the garden after Wednesday’s storm. The storm was named Noa, which seems appropriate as the amount of rain that accompanied the strong winds was biblical. All things do pass and although it at times felt like the downpours would never end, today we are backContinue reading “Six on Saturday – After the Storm”
Six on Saturday – Lobster Claws
Six on Saturday time again and what a day! April Fool’s Day, it couldn’t have been better arranged. To be honest, I’ve never really bought into the AFD concept, I’m too anxious that I will be made to look an idiot, there are enough opportunities without special days. Still, you can rest assured that thereContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Lobster Claws”
Six on Saturday – It is what it is
Are we there yet? It seems not quite. It has turned cold again, with threat of frosts and attendant late afternoon greenhouse swaddling. Of course this is how it should be. It is February and even the most season-swindling of us all must admit that, any way you look at it, it is still winter.Continue reading “Six on Saturday – It is what it is”
Six on Saturday – Mizzle
Today’s SoS photos are not what I would like them to be. Firstly, I was going to show you the results of my gardening efforts. Secondly, all shots were to be in focus. What demon thwarted my good intentions, who was my nemesis? Mizzle, that’s what. The grand scheme was to spend the morning pottingContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Mizzle”
Six on Saturday
We have reached the last SoS in January and, at the risk of wishing my life away, I’m not sorry to see February on the horizon. We’ve still a long way to go before balmy days but I am feeling horticulturally positive this week, as if we have turned a corner. There is no rhymeContinue reading “Six on Saturday”
Six on Saturday – Cool
Deluge, freeze, deluge, freeze, deluge, freeze: what an interesting winter we are having. For the last couple of weeks it has been a mainly monochrome affair, dank and dreary, but the recent frosts have been accompanied by blue skies. Unfortunately, the sun barely touches down in our garden at the moment, just a tantalising glanceContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Cool”
