Year Round Gardening

Josie and I have been busy tidying up in our gardens.

I decided the front garden needed a good sorting out and have installed a rockery. 5 plants for a fiver from B&Q and a few from Morrisons, cheap value pebbles and et voila! One rockery.




Josie has been pruning away thanks to a demo we had at Myerscough the other week and hopes that will be the last time she has had to mow the lawn until spring.

Myerscough College

Josie and I went over to Myerscough today to do a 1 day course - 'Grown Your Own Fruit & Vegetables' and marvellous it was too.

We learnt a lot and will be putting a lot of ideas in to practice.

We discovered what to grow all year round, what to plant with what, how to store and collect our own seeds.

The grounds are lovely but we were a little disheartened to discover the allotment area was in a state of neglect. A real shame as Josie pointed out the vegetables could easily be used in the kitchen for the students.

But we did grab info on some more short courses, click here for more details.
