Spanish Garden

I am away and Cruella has taken my seedlings hostage

Cruella is back, and so is the big rat!

The Yucca Lull and I get a nose piercing

Sago pups, Cruella flys off and I receive a chicken delegation

The Wild Wood, chicken pickets and things to do now

The big cutback part 4: The titanic struggle with the big ficus and I invoke help from Wigan!

The big cutback part 3: and Cruella becomes a “feeder”

The big cutback Part 2: My new garden kneeler and accusations of chicken discrimination

Hooray! It’s time for the big Winter cutback and Cruella holds a farewell party for the idiot son

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all Spanish Gardeners and chickens

Jobs you should be doing now; not including chicken entertaining!

Disease, pestilence and the start of the first great chicken war

I have a bulb plan, Cruella has become Frankenstein and the little white chicken is back from the dead

The little white chicken is dead but Tango the blind Labrador is keeping morale up

My garden has suffered the desolation of Mordor and Cruella has taught her chickens to hunt as a pack!

Tie up, deadhead and cane!

It is time for the Costa Blanca Cut and Cruella has started the chicken wars

Tie up, deadhead and cane!

Sawfly caterpillars, Brynhildr and the chicken Furies

Giant Marigolds, must do jobs and the Chicken Messiah

It is time for the world fig netting championship – and Cruella steals the show

I Choose joy over design and Cruella has a new business idea

Plant, Weed, Feed and Deadhead

Its Open Garden Day soon – but Cruella is trying to upstage me with fancy chickens

I have been victimised by an ungrateful Blackbird

Its time to deal with the Palm Weevil before it gets your trees

It’s time to make your bed

For everything there is a season…a time to plant and a time to harvest 

A happy and blessed Easter to all Spanish gardeners

Cruella’s weather curse continues but I seek revenge by turning the kitchen into a seed factory 

Cruella curses the weather and I thwart a bamboo escape

Cruella creates a marsh and I sing laments with the Agave Attenuata

The struggle with the big Ficus a modern day story of heroism

I’m back with gardening and teapots, what’s not to like.

I have become a hedge fund manager – without the fund

Cruella has designed clothing for blind dogs, whilst I have lost a gallon of blood and turned to alcohol

The idiot son has gone, Cruella has taken to his bed and I am in winter cutback heaven

The idiot son is coming home, the Peacock is back and I’m hiding from Cruella

Birds and small animals return in Cruella’s absence and we clear the Wild Wood

Cruella has flown to England but she still misses the cat

Cruella has sent me a plague of wooly aphids and a vulture!

Cruella and her friends scared my lawn

I’m taking cuttings and growing seedlings whilst Cruella is growing a puppy

Mulch ado about nothing and how Cruella did well

Cruella has destroyed our English garden

Cruella is making bird and bee Porridge and destroying my garden

Cruella hears the death rattle of the Loofah

My breakfast has come back to life in the compost bin

Forget the Chelsea Chop, I have invented the Costa Blanca Cut

I have been gardening in the nude so Cruella has made me invisible, and the idiot son has heatstroke.
