The other day it was hardly noticeable and then suddenly it appeared, out of knowwhere, a bit of “waste land” it always seems. From a bare bit of soil, the alien looking stems and leaves of the Rhubarb start to appear. My aim in life this year is to do a bit more than the [...]

For years I have wanted raspberries but never got round to sorting out ground to put them in. It has taken quite a bit of work over the last year to transform the small strip of “waste” along the side of the driveway into something useful. It was just large shingle which over the years [...]

So much going on and so little time to do things! I have added a whole load of extra things this week, so comments are with the photos. It has been sun sun sun, hot hot hot all week, which has meant lots of watering although only on the small things. Everything else has [...]

We decided to make some apple pies and rhubarb pies today and so we found the two largest stems and leaves and pulled them (T&J want to take the leaves into school tomorrow). There is so much rhubarb this year, I think this is year two of it being planted in the garden and [...]

This often gets overlooked as it simply just sits there all year. It dies in the winter and you have nothing, but in the spring it comes back to life and just gets on with things. If only life was not as a simple as a Rhubarb plant.
