Has Boots Made A Boo-Boo?

Feeling overwhelmed and under productive in the office? Times changed with the advent of COVID-19. People were asked to work from home during lockdown so a lot of businesses* could carry on as (almost) usual. People were trusted to do their jobs, and actually did them… “nearly 90% thought that their productivity had either stayed the same or improved while working from home”. (How Productive…

Intense Care

Life can be a bit tricky as an unpaid carer for a loved one. You tend to get the wrong (I believe that’s the polite version haha!) end of the stick on a fairly regular basis. I co-care with other loved ones and have no idea how people manage single-handed. It’s tough as a team, so my hat goes off to them. Your life revolves around that person’s needs and can be thoroughly exhausting, especially…

Hello Sunshine

Hey! Sorry, I've been a bit quiet - lots of health issues but here's my latest blog... Happy New Year! Clare :)

Marketing is up there with the most important business functions, & I’m lucky that I had a background in it in a previous life, back when triceratops were into magic eye pictures. Photo by Mehmet Turgut Kirkgoz on Pexels.com What I didn’t anticipate was how difficult marketing for yourself is, especially when starting from scratch. I’d breezed through my marketing days and got tangible results…

Wild About Gardening

There seems to be a bit of debate sparked by the comments made by Monty Don & Alan Titchmarsh in an article in The Telegraph. According to Craig Simpson the TV stalwarts agree that: “Wild gardens are ‘puritanical nonsense.” We introduced British native plants alongside non-native plants that enjoy the conditions by the pond. We let them run wild & tidy them up a little by removing old growth in…

They’re Growing!

Here’s a quick update on the progress of the seeds/seedlings: Let’s start with the ornamental ones! The sunflowers started growing only to be slugged! I just have stalks left so I’ll start again.The sweet peas have started too, except the ones I dropped are growing better than the ones that got sown properly 🤷‍♀️🤣 And here are the food crops… just always remember to label them, don’t get them…

Spuds Spuds Wonderful Spuds!

We’ve all done it, discovered a forgotten about potato or three in the back of the cupboard. Don’t throw any future finds out though, if they’ve started producing shoots, you can plant them! With time & care they should produce more potatoes for you! Not enough room for a vegetable patch? Well, you don’t need much – you can do this on a balcony as well as in a garden – watch the video to find…

How To Sow Salad Leaves

Growing your own is a great way to save money. The cost of a packet of seeds and some compost is far cheaper than buying lots of bagged salad. You’re also reducing waste – I don’t know about you but bags of salad go off really quickly & you’re helping the environment by not using plastic bags… Simultaneously, your salad leaves will be fresher than fresh and therefore will be jam-packed with…

How To Sow Tomatoes

Growing your own is a great way to save money. The cost of a packet of seeds and some compost is far cheaper than buying lots of packs of tomatoes. You’re also reducing waste as fewer tomatoes will be ripe at the same time. Simultaneously, your tomatoes will be fresher than fresh and therefore will be jam-packed with vitamins going from plant to plate in minutes. Apparently , the nutritional…

Counter-Intuitive Gardening for Wildlife

Before I’m a huge advocate of gardening for wildlife, there are a few myths which I won’t go into today, but you might be surprised to find out that I turned this seemingly great habitat for insects into this: After (but not finished) Why remove the ground cover I hear you ask? Well, I don’t want the grasses competing for nutrients with the tree. I’m being cruel to be kind here. The tree is…

How To Sow Sunflower Seeds & Make A Micro Greenhouse For Free

If you want your sunflowers to have an early start, then you can sow outdoors before May but remember to keep them warm. I made a micro greenhouse using plastic packing materials salvaged from a delivery. Weight it down with stones or something so it doesn’t blow away. I also reused the plastic pots I planted the seeds in. I’ve started mine off early as I’m going to sow successionally, so in a…
