I’ve finally added the raised beds. All in. Just filling them with Seaweed before topping them off with compost. It seems like I have been doing them forever – and that’s probably because I have. Lost my first sowing of Tomatoes and Cucumbers. Over heated in a room that is …
We go to Calgary Bay often just to either walk the dog, spend a day on the beach or to collect Seaweed for the garden.It sits between hills and the closest hill as you come to the beach has always tempted me to climb it. Now from the beach it …
I’ve been working hard to try and get the new raised beds raised but the weather has been very changeable and very problematic. We have had everything from Siberian Storms to Gale Force Winds and quite a lot of rain, which is in marked contrast to earlier in the month …

The weather has been all over the place for the last few weeks. Warm and dry then freezing cold, windy and wet. That’s why we love it here. Not been up to much other than planting plants and watering plants and trying to get the garden in some sort of …
We went to the beach today for a few hours. Hardly anyone there which surprised me. It was scorching hot as it has been for the last few days. Last weekend we had gales, grey skies and torrential rain. Typical of Mull. Although it has been quite windy. Tunnel is …
