In this week's gardening blog post I share how I planted out all my garden seedlings and dahlias in pots out into the garden. It finally gave me enough space to plant out my tomato plants in the glasshouse.

This week's gardening blog post is all about my dahlia obsession, and reorganizing my garden to fit all the new dahlias I bought this past winter...

If you love dahlias, organizing stuff, and making spreadsheets, this blog post is for you...

This week's gardening blog post is all about the two year process it took to grow my own sugar beet plants so that I could collect seeds for my own garden in the years to come. Sugar beet seeds are no longer available to buy for home gardeners in NZ.

In this week's gardening blog we completed the side garden project, after we previously had taken down the old aviary on the south side of the house.

New garden beds are now in place, all ready for planting this spring.

Blogged about picking hazelnuts!

So excited that the new rails on the new deck have reduced competition from squirrels.
Now I have to wait another few weeks for the nuts to cure.

Also cleaned the gutters today, finally. Relieved to find they were not full of gunk or tree saplings.
