"The love of gardening is a seed once sown never dies" – Gertrude Jekyll
A mini diary blog as promised about the challenges of organizing the present and future, from planting espaliers to managing stress, teaching new staff and trying to manage expectations in a walled garden. I find joy in sowing seeds and look forward to addressing soil issues.
The past months have been tumultuous, with travel, family discoveries, and personal loss. Despite all this I’ve found solace in gardening and the support of friends and volunteers.
The future is exciting and new gardening projects are on the horizon!
Time to sow the seeds!
Ahead of this years Garden Press Event I’ve taken the opportunity to finally use some of the products I was gifted last year, better late than never! I have seeds from Unwins & products from Westland & Greenman with a few links included!
I also have burning questions!
A quick look at what we will be doing in the garden in March at Ulting Wick, weather permitting, and a few ideas for yourself at home. Sowing seeds, veg gardening and hoping for a bit more sunshine!
A year in the life of a Sweet pea grower – Johnsons Sweet Peas
Ever wondered where your seeds come from? I did!
I was lucky enough to see how Phil Johnson a UK grower from Kent produces his so you can have beautiful Sweet Peas.
Some exciting flowers from Thompson & Morgan!
What will we grow at Ulting Wick this year…
Some of Thompson and Morgans vegtable seed I will be trying out & reviewing this year!
