Sandra's garden: April 2009

http://sandra-in-the-garden.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Tuesday, April 7, 2009. Letters from Wetville - new blog. It seems time for a spruce up, a tighter focus. Or something. I feel like my blog has become a bit like parts of my garden. Sprawled out with weeds everywhere. No longer with a clear function. So this is my attempt at a slightly altered direction. Saturday, April 4, 2009. While I had the gardening window, I also weed...

Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Friday, August 29, 2008. I just entered the NZ Gardener get growing. I also remember going to that same creek with my brother and Grandad and catching eels. Hoping to take my own children up there to play next school holidays. Thursday, August 28, 2008. Yesterday I bought a new knife. It is made in China by Kuhn Rikon who originally hail from Switzerland. It is very...I mad...

Sandra's garden: February 2009

Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Saturday, February 28, 2009. When we awake tomorrow it will be autumn. The signs have been around us as we rise in the dark on work mornings, wear an extra layer until mid-morning, have shrinking gardening time after dinner. A treat tomorrow will be eating field mushrooms, picked about 30km north of us and brought as a gift by dinner guests. Catcher in the Rye. Out of the l...

Sandra's garden: January 2009

http://sandra-in-the-garden.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Saturday, January 31, 2009. To freeze or not to freeze is a discussion we seem to have at least every year at my place. Do we need a chest freezer? No Would a chest freezer be very useful? Yes Can we afford one right now. No. So I guess we'll shelve that one until next year. And hope she forgets about the area. Intestinal flora is getting the good treatment. I made some bee...

Sandra's garden: March 2009

http://sandra-in-the-garden.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Isn't that from a movie? It conjures two images for me. Firstly of some incredibly sexy French woman from a James Bond movie. Or secondly when I think of 'provocateur' I think of the history of the seedy Soho area in Inner London, the Seven Dials and the prostitutes who propositioned. Forum: The legacy of neo-liberalism. Sunday, March 29, 2009.

Sandra's garden: painting and baking

http://sandra-in-the-garden.blogspot.com/2009/03/painting-and-baking.html

Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Sunday, March 29, 2009. Today Favourite Handyman and Fionn painted the new lean-to. Fionn also painted his clothes and for good measure FH painted a stripe of Fionn's hair. Nobody owned up to giving Brighid a paintbrush but she got paint nevertheless. She mixed hers with soil from my precious blueberry plants. Wandering jew, convulvulus, unidentified spikey weed and slugs.

Sandra's garden: October 2008

http://sandra-in-the-garden.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Friday, October 31, 2008. Tenth anniversary of the Hikoi of Hope. Susan St John has spoken powerfully and with her usual passion and integrity here. I need to research politcal party responses to the Child Poverty Action Group's campaign before polling day. There is a lot of evidence of chaos in my life, chiefly in the mess in parts of the house (usually the whole house but...

Sandra's garden: rose nursery

http://sandra-in-the-garden.blogspot.com/2009/04/rose-nursery.html

Not high tech, not high spec. One woman's journey outside of nappies and dishes and into tulips, borlotti beans and compost recipes. Saturday, April 4, 2009. The April edition of New Zealand Gardener features a useful guide to propogating your own roses from cuttings. I decided to try it, using several shortcuts from their version as I know that if I put the cuttings into a pot or propogator tray, the garden murderer will kill them for certain. Hi, I recently came accross your blog and have been reading ...
