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.

Chitting pots

I got my potatoes about a week ago, and left them in the kitchen and now there are sprouting like mad. So I've put them in boxes to chit away, and will probably keep them in the bathroom as it's pretty cold in there (ground floor rear extension). I may have to put the Desiree in the shed as I don't want them to get too ahead as they are maincrops, not sure my greenhouse is frostproof yet though?

First Earlies are Sharpe's Express


Second Earlies are Cosmos


Early Maincrop are Desiree
