My Milford Garden #8 End of BST: Winter draws on, raking leaves & planting garlic
That's it, it's the end of British Summer Time. Bye bye summer, that was very short and sweet. It's getting very cold now: winter draws on. Nearly up to date on videos now .. only 2 months behind on .. well, it IS time of year to slow down a bit and consider hibernating.
Today, however, it's all GO GO GO HERE .. 🤣 ...we are mostly raking leaves up from the bottom of the garden to make a mulch, and planting some garlic, straight off the kitchen window sill and into a trug.
Again, thanks for the ideas and inspiration from Ben at @GrowVeg and Simon at @SimonAkeroyd without whome I would probably be working at my desk instead instead of getting all this VitD, nature therapy and mindfulness practice 😎😍😄
I really do need a garden planner soon though. And haven't picked my new fruit bush yet either. Busy busy busy. Ish.

My Milford Garden #7 Autumn 2024 - Harvest Wins, Fails and Inspirations from Proper Gardeners
Переглядів 3616 годин тому
Did say I was playing catch up .. so this was Autumn 2024 when we had some very hard early first frosts that came unexpectedly, just like DEATH from a Terry Pratchetts novel and MAKING THINGS SHRIVEL IN FEAR. THE TOMS WON'T MAKE IT but those perennial salads (minutina, achillea and land cress) are gamely battling on, adding support to the now under-closh lettuces that are now getting stealth at...
Milford Garden #6: First full tour .. and first pickings! Summer '24
Переглядів 3716 годин тому
Playing catch-up a bit now on these videos .. filmed this one in summer just to show how all the plug plants and seedlings blossomed into adult courgettes, nasturtiums, beetroot, brussels sprouts, red cabbage, carrots, and in the salad department we have land cress, minutina, achillea, tomatoes, spinach, lettuces (bolted but more seedlings on the way), radishes .. a few herbs .. The plants that...
Milford Garden #:5 3 full beds, cat poop, and no-rush Asparagus
Переглядів 7021 день тому
Not 3 but 4 full beds in place .. planting in full swing, things actually rooting and starting to grow .. .. and turf's up on paths ready for sand, gravel and a few slabs. It would be nice to wander bare-foot through my beds but .. doesn't appeal to me in winter, so gravel it is! Current quandary .. how to keep cats from peeing and pooping in one's raised beds? One new thing I learnt about this...
My Milford Garden #:4 Beds in place .. and we're filling up!

4 bed frames now in place (1 was an afterthought!), still to be filled with brash, top soil and compost .. so a bit of a peek at how they've been constructed. The potting shed is a bit full now and all the little seedlings and/or plug plants are starting to get quite impatient about being planted out ... #permaculturegarden #homegrownrevolution #nofarmersnofood #morefarmersmorefood #edibleperen...

First of the raised bed materials delivered today .... timber, aggregate for the gravel paths, a few slabs .. and in a week or so, there'll be a load of top soil arriving too. It'll all get strategically dumped at the front of the house and then get carried/lugged/heaved/wheelbarrowed round to the garden at the back, as it's needed more or less. And the clearing /relocating / repurposing of a l...

If you keep doing what you've aways done, you get more of what you already got, right? So if you want something different, you have to do something different. I think it was Henry Ford or someone said that, but it's kind of obvious really. I want to make better use of my garden space .. so I'm doing something different and giving it all pretty dramatic makeover. I'm no gardening expert .. but I...
My Milford Garden #1 - P is for Permaculture .. first ideas!
Переглядів 369 місяців тому
After dabbling with home-growing for a year or two, and thoroughly enjoying the limited array of veg, salad, fruit and herbs that I've managed to succeed, I've decided to get a bit more out of my garden by putting more time and effort into it. As so many of us are doing with whatever growing space we're in stewardship of, I want to be more productive and enjoy the taste of more home-grown, whet...
Hopi Ear Candling - Holistic Therapy Spotlight with 4 candles
Переглядів 3911 місяців тому
This video gives a little background about Thermo-Auricular Therapy (Hopi Candling), a complimentary therapy that can be very helpful for a wide range of ENT (Ear Nose Throat) issues. Before I became a therapist myself, I had often seen pictures of Hopi treatments and remember thinking, "why on earth would you want to stick a burning candle in your ear??!". I didn't realise, at the time, that i...

Spent a weekend working at a festival earlier this month, where I help to organise the Wellbeing area set aside from the main festival ... it's a chillax space .. even though the Festival is right next to an airport and a motorcycle race track! It's quite a different setting! And a change of scenery now and then in your workspace can totally be a catalyst for more creativity Here's just a few o...
