What reminds you of summer? For me one of the things that reminds me of summer are the flowers in the garden, the perfume that lingers on the air as the long days turn to dusk and a velvety night falls. I do like to be outside in the evenings watching the sun go down and the moon, sometimes a huge golden globe in the sky rise, to light the ...  Read the complete review

Colour, texture and scent are all important elements of a well designed garden. A mish-mash of plants that are chosen without any particular scheme in mind and thrown into the ground in any old spot will rarely work. Sure, they may bloom but you probably won?t be getting the best from your garden. Our back garden is based ...  Read the complete review

Yea I know the title is a little misleading but anyway: I have a lot of time for sweet peas though I would caution against the 'everlasting' sweet pea. This is a perenial climber that just will not take no for an answer. It comes in one colour [so far] - sort of lilac & has NO scent. Don't get me wrong it looks good running through my ...  Read the complete review

My early childhood was spent in my grandparents' small semi at the back of which was a tiny back garden with a concrete path running straight through the middle. On one side of the garden was a high fence and every summer without fail my grandfather would lovingly plant his sweet peas. Oh the delight of being able to pick them to my hearts ...  Read the complete review

I phoned my mum and ...  Read the complete review
