SARAH THE GARDENER

I nearly cried today in the garden – but I didn’t.  El Nino was wrecking havoc with strong winds yesterday that caused a reasonable amount of damage.  But I didn’t have time to cry over split milk – I’m hitting the road tomorrow for a tour of the finest gardens in the land!  So I fixed what I could and allthat is needed now is to throw the few things into my suitcase.  : o)

In readiness for a season of thirsty plants, I’ve beenchecking my irrigation system and fixing leaks, breakages and blockages.  It is reassuring to know the system is ingood working order before I need it. : o)

The garden continues to be planted out with more and moregaps filled each day. Although the temperatures have taken a dip – not to frost levels in my garden but enough to slow things down a little compared to last week. : o)

It has been a bit of a mixed bag lately – no gardening wasdone for a couple of days while 21st Birthday recovery and super damp foggy weather took priority.  But there was a window where beans and things were sown and planted and this season is well and truly underway. : o)

The wonderful garden club visitors came today and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect.  And just in the nick of time, before they arrived, the conditions for the tomatoes became ideal for my micro climate so I popped them in and now I’m hoping for the best. : o)

I’m still busy.  I’ve got a garden group coming on Friday so I’ve been working hard to make sure there is something to see and that it looks lovely. But for the most part, I've been assembling my structures.

And for the keen listener – the moment of gobbledegook iswhere I meant to say ping pong balls! : o)

It has been a busy time – I’m absolutely exhausted after atwo day marathon to repair the windbreak around my rosemary hedge in Room One of the The Palace Garden in preparation for the impending El Nino.  : o)

Last night I found myself on the telly!  It was quite exciting and interesting to see my garden through someone else’s eyes.  And it was so lovely to chat in the comments of my social media with all of the well wishers. 

But fame is fleeting and less than 24 hours later I was scrambling about on my hands and knees weeding in between the pavers in The Palace, which was humbling, but meditatively enjoyable at the same time.

I’ve had a distracted start to the new growing season thanksto the release of my new book 'Growing Vegetables' and the ensuing publicity.  But now most of the fuss has died down and I can just potter in my garden and enjoy every minute of it.

The weather is rubbish again, but it hasn’t stopped me crossing off a huge project from my to do list.  I have spent months working on some pretty serious greenhouse maintenance and it feels wonderful to have it done.   : o)
