OK … So you have probably fallen onto my blog because of your love of all things green !?
You are either a expert or like me a absolute virgin to this growing all things edible ..
Let me tell you a little about me .. I am a single mum of 2 human boys and a doggy mum to a beautiful loving but somewhat dopey mastiff girl of 3 years of age.
I work as a jeweler and have recently turned to vegan … Now mentioning that word VEGAN you’re either still reading this or have ran a mile ..
Vegan really does have that impact on people 🤷🏻♀️ … I chose to turn vegan just down to my own feelings on it , I’m not going to preach or push my opinions on to anyone else .. I’m just vegan and that is it !
So.. Lets get to the actual reason for me starting this blog ….
Well ………
About a year back I decided to do a little gardening in my shared garden, I live in a flat so this garden was just a block of concrete with washing lines on it , you know the sort I mean, I’m sure you are picturing it right now… Not the nicest of places to sit in but all the same it was a ” space ” .
I decided to get some wooden planters and see what I could grow, I thought to myself , even if it just adds a little color it would be such a nicer place to sit and just enjoy a little of mother nature, because as we all know there is nothing better for the mind and soul then a bit of mother nature therapy .

Wow … I actually done it !!
And here it is my lovelies !! I actually done it ! I actually grew my own strawberries and peppers and YES we ate them too !
What a buzz ..
i have killed every house plant i have ever owned and here i am not only growing plants but i am also growing fruits and veggies which we can totally eat.
Noone was now killing this buzz for me .. so this is where my idea to apply to the council for a allotment space came from ..now do you remember my statement…
I have killed every house plant I have ever owned
Now i am applying for a allotment ( and I got it )
- 3 peppers
- a handful of strawberries
And now I think I am a expert…. ooooo how wrong I was …., turns out it takes a lot more hard work and research to actually own a allotment, the highs and lows you will see over the progress of my blog ……..
