No Mow May

May 3, 2023 by Michele Neylon Leave a Comment

It's a simple idea yet its impact could be quite profound. The idea behind #NoMowMay is super simple Don't mow your lawn for the month of May - let wild flowers and weeds flourish. Why?

Fresh Produce From the Garden!

August 4, 2022 by Michele Neylon Leave a Comment

It's the beginning of August, so it's a real bumper time in the garden. I'm already onto my 3rd round of carrots, which I'm hoping will be ready in the next couple of weeks. The lettuce, which I planted in one of the raised beds, have gone a little wild, but are still edible. At the moment the tomatoes are ripening, as are the peppers and chillis.
