  1. Sorry, I had to pause to eyeroll so hard I nearly concussed my own brain….

    You seem MORE than capable, and know what you’re doing. I just stumbled across this site and I’m glad I did; we moved to the Western Isles three years ago and it’s been a real learning curve! Your garden is inspiring in such challenging conditions, and I’m taking notes. Thanks for writing.

  2. I have been growing some veg the last few years but this year I have decided to grow more. I have a walk-in plastic greenhouse, and I have one raised bed that I have made from a pallet. So I am certainly looking forward to seeing some growth. I honestly hope I will be able to fit it all in the Greenhouse.

  3. Stumbled across your website and thrilled that I did!!!
    Wonderful advice and ideas. Thank you so very much.
    You’re a wee dancer!!!
    Lots of love, Karen xxxxxx

  4. I once tried a delicious yellow/orange beetroot that someone grew in the Central Belt. Sadly, I forgot to ask them which variety it was. I know that there are so many out there, but if you’ve got any suggestions I’d appreiate it.

  5. I live in Iowa (US) I plant and harvest parsnips the same way you describe. I leave my parsnips in the ground over winter and dig them after the frost is out. They taste great!! Going to try your method of “Lazy Man’s Potatoes”.

  6. This was spot on! I get hooked every time I see that first green shoot pushing through the soil it’s an instant mood booster. Which moment in your garden gives you that same rush?

  7. My grandmother on my dad’s side was the granddaughter of Scottish immigrants to the U.S. in the 1840’s. A recipe that’s been handed down is Steamed Cranberry Pudding, with a Lemon Sauce to be served with it.

  8. Great, practical guide — the step-by-step sharpening tips and safety reminders make secateur maintenance feel totally doable. Following these will keep cuts clean and extend tool life; bookmarked to try this weekend!

  9. Hi Dina, it’s summer in Australia and we are spoilt for choice when it comes to vegetables. Had some leftover pumpkin, potatoes, leeks, lemongrass, etc and went looking for ideas. Great recipe! and easy to tweak (even threw in a half a yellow capsicum). Haven’t tried cooking Javanese style food before and Indonesia via Scotland was a tasty and fun fusion. Thanks for the inspiration, Pam and Trevor
