- Every year when the well dressing takes place in Litton there's a garden open to visitors. As you can see it's a riot of colour, bursting at the seams with all my favourite plants. It's only tiny, no lawn, but a quintessential cottage garden...must have a very enthusiastic gardening owner. more

- Isn't it strange how people can misjudge each other in life and sometimes make such false assumptions? They can take one look and leap to all sorts of ludicrous conclusions regarding your personality and station in life.Take the good lady, for example, who plainly mistook me for some rustic son-of-the-soil, seeing in my demeanour nothing more... more

- It's been a busy day - all morning sweeping, tidying, last minute weeding, more sweeping - then all afternoon chatting to visitors doing the rounds of open gardens in our village...very enjoyable though. There's such a lot to learn from more experienced gardeners. At the Gardeners' World exhibition my sister bought me a couple of plants as a... more

- It was a fascinating experience to catch a little bit of the filming for Gardeners' World yesterday, and then tonight to see it on the TV. Certain family members are unable to fathom my preference for a gardening programme over the football...really, I only wanted to see if I was on the tele. Neither were they impressed by my close brush with... more

- My sister rang and said she'd the offer of some tickets to the Gardeners' World exhibition at the NEC from a friend who was unable to go, and did I fancy it. Did I? ...you bet! So that's where we've been today - and this is one of the show gardens - very pretty. We're both mad about plants so spent most of our time in the RHS floral pavillion.... more

- Not our garden, that would only take a minute, but the garden of the private estate where Les works. I've always wanted to do this, being naturally nosy, so I jumped at the chance when I heard that they were open. They're just as I imagined - some formal herbaceous borders, but mainly large expanses of lawn edged with the brightest yellow and... more

- She's a beauty I think, this gorgeous lavender blue clematis veined with mauve. There's so much to see in the garden at the moment, but not much work being done apart from watering the greenhouse - this will have to change as Helen has just phoned me to ask about taking part in our village open gardens day and of course I said yes...then... more

- Having spent just about all of my weekend in the garden, alternately soaking up the beautiful, oven-like sunshine and slaving away to restore some semblance of order and respectability to my sadly neglected wilderness, thoughts naturally wandered to my past exploits in the horticultural realm.Only last week i planted dozens of mixed bulbs along... more

- As i stood 5 feet away from my front door with the girls at my ankles I decided that it was time to take action - well when I could get in the flaming house it would be. The problem is this. I am allergic to wasp sting and there were a bunch of the little rat bags dancing round my front door thus blocking me out, brilliant. We have lived here... more
