This pot is boiling now.

So it turns out I was wrong. A watched pot really does boil. Just add duck pond water weekly and things really start to thrive...

    1. Haha I was a little worried they were a bit gratuitous!!! So nice to hear someone is enjoying them. I know I love sticky beaking around other peoples gardens ;-)

    1. Aw thanks mate, but I really have a hand's off approach in terms of maintaining the garden. I just make sure the soil is good quality (compost) and water weekly with fertiliser. Then only when I notice bad disease of something eating the plant, do I intervene :-) Just water with fertiliser and I promise within a week you will see a difference in your plants! xox

  3. I'm also loving the pictures Sam. And that garden is AMAZING. I really think I've been too slack with the liquid fertiliser. Perhaps I really do need to get some ducks and a pond with a pump. A question: have you grown most things from seed? How much was started in the green house and how much planted direct?

    1. I would totally recommend ducks. Their dirty pond water is all that has been keeping my garden alive! Most of the plants I have grown from seed. I'll do a post answering both questions properly :-) xox
