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.

Planting broad beans and peas

This year I'm going to control my usual splurge planting spree, and only plant about 15-20 seeds of each item. Hopefully this will mean I'll have a sensible amount of plants and not have to give them away as I've done in the past. I'll be sowing in succession over the weeks to come. To start today I've sown some broad beans (Franchi variety) I was a little nervous planting these as they are Italian seed so I wasn't sure if they preferred warmer conditions than we have at the mo. I've stuck them in the shed with the chitting potatoes so they should be ok.

 

I have to say I'm very excited to be back in the saddle as I barely grew anything last year being heavily pregnant and having a toddler in tow. This year things are a bit more manageable!
