    Excerpt

    Mostly gardeningDebbie and I celebrated out 40th wedding anniversary this week and as - almost always - we did at our favourite local beach, at Cleveleys. It’s a fun place to visit, lots to see and do and not at all pretentious, a classic old time small seaside town. They’ve invested a lot in beach art installations, with more on the prom and one of the best sea defence/promenades I’ve seen.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!b4-L!,f_auto,q_

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    A few years ago I released a sowing guide for September, in which I claimed that September is the most important sowing month for the year round gardener. I’m going to briefly explain here, why I make this claim and whether it’s really worth the effort.
