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.

August colours

Summer is fading fast on the allotment, sadly, the lush greenery of early summer has definitely now passed. There is still plenty of colour around though, and with plums and apples now found by the road there is more than enough to keep me cheerful!.



My sungold cherry tomatoes have been a roaring success this year and some of the marmande slicing tomatoes have done well too.


Plenty of Autumn Bliss raspberries, and wild strawberries



and I found this nice plump pumpkin lurking under a cabbage
