I've got chickens - two lovely chooks that cluck and scratch! They have turned my garden from being a predictable suburban stretch to something far more exciting. I can't help but skip down every hour or so to look at them. They are called Gertrude and Alice B. after Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas.
Hi all
With the summer here, this week Toby will be planning ahead for a spectacle later in the year and creating our very own prairie border at Greenacre. Toby is hoping to bring grasses to life by combining them with some tall herbaceous perennials including some that we've recycled from Berryfields. Prairie borders are easy to maintain and look fab in the autumn.
I've literally just got home from the NEC where I've been for the duration of Gardeners' World Live. I am absolutely shattered! I filmed for two days for the programme and then gave talks and master classes for a further three days, floating between the main celebrity theatre, the 'grow your own' stage and the small stage on the 'Taste of Greenacre' garden. It's a big venue with all the show gardens and a floral marquee so my legs are now thoroughly aching. In all it was a huge success.
Hi all
What a busy week it's been at GW HQ. We've all been working very hard at , especially at Plant Swap where you've all been swapping your wonderful plants for somebody else's and we've also been swapping Gardeners' Delight tomato plants in return for plants for our garden at Greenacre.
Part of the joy of an allotment is the space it offers for experimentation. Over the years, I've given house-room to all manner of unusual and historic crops, often with completely inedible results.
Hi Fellow Gardeners',
With front gardens under threat across the nation from paving for parking and ease of living, on tonight's show we hope to inspire you, the viewer, to create your very own front garden utopia.
