Lyndsey Curran-Dumez (The Small Urban Gardener)

Here are just a few I would recommend anyone to read from beginner to Professional gardeners. You can never know everything about gardening.

I am a wildlife gardener at heart. That is my passion. So when I see a product that will benefit wildlife and is also pleasant to the eye, I GET A BIT GIDDY!!! Here are a few of those products.

Autumn is the ideal time of year to start preparing for your next growing season in the garden. As this years plants start to come to the end of their blooming season and go back to sleep, temperatures start to drop and the weather becomes very Autumnal, there are still plenty of projects to be done in the garden. From pruning existing plants to planting your spring flowering bulbs and bagging those end of year sales for perennial plants. Not to mention, painting fences and sheds, adding new borders, composting old leaves and plant growth. You can always find something to do in an Autumn/Winter garden.

As a gardener I have to come up with all kinds of solutions to protect plants from the elements, people and wildlife. Her are a few that I have either used, know somebody who has used them or I am going to use in the future.

As an amazon Associate, I get access to many Amazon offers and here you will find ALL of the Amazon Trial offers, I can offer. If you choose to try out a product through one of my links I may receive a commission at no cost to yourself.

As a gardener, I always ensure to include plants in my planting schemes that bloom throughout the various seasons. There is always something interesting happening in the garden. Wether it be flowering bulbs that come and go, annuals grown from seed for one season providing beautiful colour, Pollen and Nectar or shrubs to frame, create shade and habitat for birds to forage and nest in. There are endless possibilities when it comes to choosing plants. Here I recommend my favourites to achieve an all year round garden.

I grow Organically on my allotment. I choose not to use any pesticides and companion plant instead. The wee beasties are my friends. Here are the most popular ones I grow to interplant throughout my veggies. To attract pest predators and to deter other pests.

I am a gardener by trade and just love nature and the materials it can give us. I like to use natural products in my life and just love the natural Aesthetic of wood, glass and natural fibres.

As I have gotten older I'm not really one for dressing up for Halloween in full regalia l, however having two children i do like to make rhe effort to join in when we trick or treat so I always make sure I have a Halloween T Shirt and maybe even some accessories like fun glasses or earings. Here is a snapshot of what I found this year.
