(Filmed 14th of July). What a lovely start to the month…..a visit from friends bearing plant gifts, days out exploring castles, beaches, steam trains…..birthday book gifts and others. I’ll show you the plant gifts and discuss my plans for them so today we’ll be in the kitchen and the garden. I hope you can join me.

A quick look at the start of Swanage Carnival 2025. The Red Arrows opened the carnival this year with this fabulous display of their skills. The full video will come out on the 14th of August. Thank you for watching.

(Filmed 2nd of July). Jasmine cuttings (free plants, hopefully!) and how much have I spent on the garden so far. Today is one of those perfect days in the garden……when the tough work is done and the plants are all in and growing….it’s time to gently potter!

(Filmed 9th of June). I live on £50 per week….that has to cover food and everything else (clothing, travel, entertainment etc). When there’s a week when I don’t need to buy so much food I use it as an opportunity to buy something from my ‘I could do with’ list.

(Filmed 8th of June). I hope you will find this video very relaxing. It’s Sunday in Swanage. A quiet start in the garden with the lovely bells of St Mary’s…..then a walk to the beach for the Swanage Regatta of Gig racing (come on Swanage! Come on Dorset!)…..and a bit of ‘antiquing’ on my way home before a treat in the garden.

(Filmed 30th June). The tomato plants have been in for five weeks now and have gone mad in the warmth so it’s high time for some cares. I’ll be talking about the difference between cordon (indeterminate) types and bush (determinate) types, propagating free pants from just one original seed, how and why I prune plus my blight preventer/delayer spray. I’ll also be looking at my beans and hopes for next year.

(Filmed 25th June). I might be a bit broken and beaten up…..but there are still jobs I can get on with in the garden. Instead of focussing on what I can’t do I set about tackling what I can do!

(Filmed June 23rd). The weather isn’t playing ball today so plans need to change. I’ve had the final bill for my asbestos removal so I’m looking at how my budget is performing so far because I need to find extra for an unforeseen job. Plus; films, tv and books.

It’s a mixed bag today but the main job, first thing in the morning, is getting rid of the asbestos. Thank you to Mr J for being such a good sport.
