  • Potty gardener and how to protect plants from rabbits

    The Potty Gardener & Easter Bunnies

    For me, growing in pots and planters makes it less tempting and trickier for rabbits to nibble at any new plantings and soft growth, but for those of you growing in rows it may be a different story. Those early bean and pea shoots that may be popping up soon are at particular risk of becoming a bunny salad. So unless you have a rabbit proof fence surrounding your veg plot then some Bell Cloches or an Easy Tunnel pegged over the plants should keep the naughty nibblers at bay and keep the plants cosy and moist too.

  • Spring gardening in the Sunbubble pop up greenhouse

    The Potty Gardener Skips Into Her Sunbubble

    Some very exciting news…this weekend the Sun came out, and so did my brand new Sunbubble! Unfortunately it is now drizzling with rain again, but whatever endorphins were released whilst soaking up the sun in my Sunbubble are still coursing through my veins resulting in a Spring-like enthusiasm for the gardening year ahead.

  • The Potty Gardener and the best pot for a live Christmas tree

    The Potty Gardener and her Potted Christmas Tree

    I am extremely pleased with my potted tree! I can’t wait to bring it inside to be festooned with festive bits and baubles. This potted Christmas tree is on loan from Grandpa Haxnicks who is going away for Christmas, he says that he is travelling north and will not have time to decorate it. Perhaps the generous old man is more than he seems….he does have a white beard!

    The Potty gardener sorting with Soft-Tie & spiders!

    Thankfully, I have survived the storms and the spiders to tell the tale of the looking after Rootrainers, the marvels of Soft-tie and the cure for arachnophobia….

  • Potty Gardener and how not to plant spring bulbs

    The Potty Gardener and a gardening mistake!

    Approaching your gardening from a whole new angle can be refreshing, but I don't recommend this extreme angle. Whilst you can get a good look at low lying weeds and easily spot those hidden courgettes that are turning into monster marrows it can leave you disorientated and confused. Actually the blog title 'gardening upside down' is not so much a reference to my physical orientation but rather a particular gardening error I made.....

  • The Potty Gardener and how to tidy the garden for winter

    The Potty Gardener puts her planters to bed

    This week I decided that my well-travelled potted veg garden had given its all and was ready to be put to bed for the winter. The pots and planters have had an exciting year, travelling from greenhouse to garden, from the Cotswolds to Chelsea and finally settling in their new spot on top of a windy hill in Dorset.
