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.

Don't be shy, get planting!

Most advice online and on seed packets suggests waiting to plant seed indoors and out, until at least February. But then quite often I hear people have seedlings on the go before then. I am really impatient and in my experience my mum grows her seem much later than me and more often than not, her's do better. Anyway, I will always try to plant early, as sometimes it will work and this Telegraph article supports me!
