About me



I'm a half Finnish designer who has since taken a break to bring up my children. I used to work in Graphic Design, but now I prefer working with textiles and illustration. This blog is about my allotment and garden. I have been gardening for many years and grew up watching my mum and dad do the same. I began my allotment in Jan 2010 in memory of my father who passed a way just before then. I also love cooking and finding inventive and delicious ways to make my produce into meals. I'm growing with my experiences, and welcome any helpful advice! Sometime soon I hope to use my garden as inspiration for my art.

B&Q splurge

Having tried to reign myself in after my £40 kids clothes splurge early in the week, I'm now guilty of a similar spending spree at B&Q garden centre. It's quite important that I have a new watering can with a fine spray (for seeds), some new gloves, some wire supports, compost, a couple of willow weaved pea planters. I'm quite pleased at the latter find, as I've been after some kind of low fencing for the allotment for a while and have found nothing cheap enough to justify. These planters can be opened up to almost 2 metres, and only £4.98 a pop! bargain.
