I love them right back and am always ridiculously over-proud of my tomato-growing achievements. And this year is certainly the pinnacle of those tomato-growing achievements so … Continue reading Tomato, tomato, tomato: a season’s growing notes

You call this June?

June 3, 2015June 2, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 13 Comments

June eh? I've got to confess, I've had the heating on these past two evenings. And looking out of the window, I can see that one of my tomato plants has been blown over in the winds. Sigh.

{Houseplant of the week: Tradescantia ‘Nanouk’}
Tooting / Streatham delivery:
Sunny afternoon photo from the Piano School courtyard. I normally always show the other side where the tree fern is (because, tree fern 💚) so here’s a view of the sunny end, with the pink wall... I designed and planted this all about 18 months ago now and it’s lovely to see how it’s settled in. Swipe for a better view of the new wall hanging herb planters, ready for summer!
