I have never claimed to be green fingered. When we moved here two years ago we inherited a well established, mature garden. Complete with falling down fences. In the two years we have lived here we have dug up half the plants, planted some extra grass and fixed the fence. I am yet to set [...]

If I am totally honest, I haven’t really thought about my day zero list this month. I know, I know. Slap my legs. I think the problem is that it’s getting harder to cross things off as a lot of the things that are left are Big Ones. Like go to France. Pfff. I think [...]

Another month down. Did you know there are only twelve more weekends until Christmas? Well you do now. You are welcome. In other news, it’s time for my Day Zero round up. Ready? 5. Grow some of our own vegetables Well, we have done our best. Our tomatoes were doing brilliantly until it got really [...]

This month marks the half way point of my day zero challenge. So, I guess I should technically be half way through my list, right? Um…no. As of last month I have completed 41 out of the 101 things I have to achieve. Actually, that’s not so  bad, but it’s definitely not half. You can [...]

A few months ago Big M and I planted some tomato seeds. The other day the two of us went on “our ‘ventures” in the garden. This involved us taking our cameras and seeing what we could find. Look what we spotted. Go us! In other news, I think my obsession enthusiasm for taking photos [...]

Normally I get to the end of the month and my little heart sinks as I realise that I am a month closer to the end of my day zero challenge, and really not getting anywhere fast. June has been different though. I know for a FACT that I have kicked some serious day zero [...]

In our old house we had no garden to speak of. Outside the back door was a small yard, big enough to hang some washing and keep the bins. Our garden was at the front of the house and had a path through it that we shared with next door. It was nice to look [...]

Thirteen, unlucky for some. Hopefully not for me though…. 5. Grow some of our own vegetables Last weekend the tomatoes and peppers were transplanted to bigger pots. Big M helped, so we were only left with 5 of each. 16. Get a cleaner I am now back at work *sob*. We all know that I [...]
