Welcome to the weekend coffee share! Let’s have a warm beverage together and talk about the week. What would you like? Some coffee? Or tea? The weather is still warm, we’ve had lows of 50F/10C during the night and slightly warmer during the day. It’s been a grey week, with light rain some days. A…

Welcome to the weekend coffee share. It is raining and it is not that warm. You’ll need some good outdoor clothing and shoes if you’d like to have a coffee with me in the garden. It is time to prepare for the garlic that will be planted within the next two weeks. I weeded, and…

Welcome to this weekend coffee share. Can I get you some coffee? Or tea? We’ve had our first frost this week. As I write this it is -2C/28F. Those who weren’t sleeping last night could experience a magical northern light..I was sleeping soundly in my bed and saw my friends photos when I woke up.…

I hope you’re in the mood for a strong cup of coffee! The french press has a strong brew ready for you. There is still some hot water in the kettle, in case you’d rather have a cup of tea? How are you? How is this week treating you? Before this month even started I…

Yesterday afternoon I decided to take a walk around one of the smaller lakes in…

Today was the day when it was finally time to pick berries! I love having red currants in my yoghurt and smoothies. They are sour, even when they are ripe. My daughter don’t enjoy eating them straight from the bush (perhaps that is an acquired taste) but she loves the jam and lemonade I make.…

This is today’s harvest of the sugar snap pea “Norli”. This is what it looked like when I came to my allotment this morning. I wrote about how my daughter and I love the Norli variety last week. To be honest, the harvest is so abundant that it seems like it is never ending. At…

One of the most important keys to a sustainable, successful garden is companion planting. This is especially true if you have a small space to work with, like an allotment garden. My current garden is only 200 square meters/0.0494210763 acres and I try to make the most of the space. I have a mix of…
