Keeping houseplants alive through winter

December 6, 2019November 11, 2020 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

When I first started studying horticulture, one of my tutors said something about houseplants that kind of blew my brain. “No plant wants to live inside your house, they all want to be outside…” And I suddenly realised: it's not me, it's them! I've learnt so much about plants in the six years since then … Continue reading Keeping houseplants alive through winter

Meet the houseplant: a new series

July 7, 2019November 21, 2020 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

My home, these days, is stuffed full of houseplants. An urban jungle, an indoor rainforest, a interior garden… …you get the idea, there’s a lot of greenery. Though I’ve not been blogging so much recently, I’ve developed a bit of an Instagram addiction (go and check me out over there if you’re not already! @wolvesinlondon). … Continue reading Meet the houseplant: a new series

Urban Jungle Bloggers: jungle animals

February 19, 2016February 18, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

The almost-overwhelming temptation, for this month’s UJB theme of jungle animals, was to bring the chickens inside and create a little jungle for them to wander around in the kitchen. The downsides to this plan are many, the two most obvious being a kitchen floor covered in chicken poo and the inevitable demise of all … Continue reading Urban Jungle Bloggers: jungle animals

Experiment: growing succulents in water

January 27, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 11 Comments

I found this stunning photo on Pinterest (where else?) a little while ago. It's of a sort of terrarium-slash-vase called the 1012 Terra glass vessel (you can buy it here) and is made by a Japanese duo called Daisuke Tsumanuma and Kenichi Yamada. I have been lusting for such wondrousness in my house ever since … Continue reading Experiment: growing succulents in water

Urban Jungle Bloggers: planty wishes for 2016

January 12, 2016January 11, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 4 Comments

I’m a bit late with the December post for Urban Jungle Bloggers. As the eagle-eyed among you will have spotted, it’s not actually December anymore. But the theme for the month is planty wishes for 2016 and I love it so much that I can’t miss the chance to join in, even if it's nearly … Continue reading Urban Jungle Bloggers: planty wishes for 2016

Over on Pinterest: houseplant heaven

December 6, 2015December 3, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ Leave a comment

Since joining in with Urban Jungle Bloggers these past few months, I've been seriously bitten with the houseplant bug. I’ve got to confess, for a long time I thought houseplants were a bit 70s. A bit naff. A bit macramé pot holders (though they, of course, are now massively back in fashion…) And, most of … Continue reading Over on Pinterest: houseplant heaven

Urban Jungle Bloggers: plant shelfie

November 23, 2015November 22, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 2 Comments

I’d written you a ridiculously whiney blog post to go with these pictures a week or so ago. It was mostly complaining about the lack of light and how much I had to do at the moment. “Oh I’m sooooooo busy right now.” “Oh the light is sooooo bad right now.” “Oh I’m soooooo stressed … Continue reading Urban Jungle Bloggers: plant shelfie

Three ways to plant a terrarium

September 23, 2015September 23, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 5 Comments

You know the string of hearts plant that I bought last week for my sister’s birthday and then fell in love with so much I became reticent to give it away? Well, I needn’t have worried, for she is a sister of excellent taste and – at our joint birthday celebration last weekend – she … Continue reading Three ways to plant a terrarium

The mantelpiece a few weeks back, basking in some Spring sunshine. This is just my very favourite time of year…
If you’ve followed me for a while, you may be remember me mentioning that I really hate driving. It makes me feel super anxious, especially with the kids in the car, and living in London definitely doesn’t help. I’ve been meaning to crack my fear for years now but never quite managed, but I’m determined to try and make some progress this year (it can be a huuuge pain always schlepping about with three kids on a bus).
Oh but I just love Spring. So happy to see these beauties back again this year (Narcissus ‘Bridal Crown’)…
Never not half-planning to move to Frome…
