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.

Spring time at last

Today was positively tropical compared to recent weather. I decided to head down the allotment this afternoon despite probably not being quite well enough. The children were driving me nuts and we've been inside on the other two nice days, so I couldn't miss another.

So here are some updated pics. My allotment looks so different to everyone else's as they have mostly got their's rotivated. I'm quite jealous of their blank canvases, but am secretly hoping all the couch grass and thistles will grow back all over the place, having been removing mine in back breaking fashion. Only time will tell on that count.

    The thistles did grow back for everyone else, I'm glad I did it by hand
