The day before yesterday we realised we had run our of garlic, so had to beg a spare clove from our lodgers, and put it on the shopping list. Then yesterday I was weeding a corner of the veg plot, and among a clump of grass I...

Beans with everything!

Fleur @Fleura (35062) • United Kingdom 26 Jan

Do you like beans? One crop I seem to have consistent success with is beans, mainly climbing beans. Some years it feels like the only thing I can manage to grow! I grow runner beans (red- and white-flowered varieties), climbing...

Sweet chestnut bonanza!

Fleur @Fleura (35062) • United Kingdom 6 Oct

It really is a bumper year for chestnuts! Not only are there lots but they are a decent size as well, some years they are so small they are hardly worth the trouble of getting them out of their shells. In the past we’ve picked...

Plums with everything!

Fleur @Fleura (35062) • United Kingdom 4 Aug

We have a Victoria plum tree in the garden, and this year seems to have been a perfect year for plums. Funny, because often good years alternate with poor years, but last year was a good year as well. Last year we had lots of...

Fleur @Fleura (35062) • United Kingdom 8 Jul

My partner loves cherries, and was hankering after a cherry tree or two, although we don’t have the best space for them really – all the best, sunny spots are already taken. But then last autumn I came across a special offer of...

Plum Recipes

Denise Knight @gnatsmom (2575) 18 Nov 24

Does anyone have any good plum recipes? This year our plum trees were the most successful. I ended up freezing most of them. But I did try some new recipes. They were pretty good. Plums are not my favorite fruit, but my husband...

It's All so Witchy Isn't it?

celticeagle @celticeagle (189915) • Boise, Idaho 31 Oct 24

Five more days. Trump with a one-point lead. Harris lost her New Hampshire lead. Oh my! I guess I will stick to wearing a pumpkin face and dancing around the bond fire. Celebrating the Earth giving forth and us being thankful....

Well I guess something worked

Fleur @Fleura (35062) • United Kingdom 11 Oct 24

This year has been a bit of a disaster as far as vegetable-growing is concerned. Most of my beans and peas yielded just a handful of pods, if that, and the broad beans were devoured by slugs. The runner beans did better, but then...

There are quite a few hazel bushes around here, and baby ones are constantly springing up all over the garden because of the nuts buried by jays and grey squirrels. But in spite of that we hardly ever actually get any nuts these...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382240) • Rockingham, Australia 7 May 23

In the photo, you can see the sum total of my butternut pumpkin/squash harvest. They looked like this before we left for Ireland at the beginning of April but I left them on the vine in the hope that they might fill out more. But...

Daniel @Geoffmax (275) 1 Nov 21

Today I harvest chilies next to my house, because I don't have a large enough land so the chilies are planted in plastic bags, so every harvest I always distribute some of my neighbors, hopefully my neighbors and I don't have to...

Fleur @Fleura (35062) • United Kingdom 8 Sep 21

Spring has got to be my favourite season, seeing new growth appear day by day. And I love summer too - although I’m not crazy about hot weather, I love the long days and the early mornings. So when summer comes to an end, and it...
