    Hello team, how the devil are YOU? You may or may not know that I have a podcast with a pal of mine, Jojo. We are on hiatus (just for now, whilst we focus on studio work and seek out a lovely sponsor) but in it we talked a lot about our lives and I loved being able to share with you what’s going on in mine - the funny and mundane bits of life outside of the garden, like shooting the breeze and catching up with pals about all the things we talk about - and that it is to be a millenial woman, mum,

    Bulbs to buy that come back every year (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Each year I curate a bulb guide complete with my pick of bulbs to carry you from January to July in a particular colour scheme, with the idea being you can have fun year after year mixing up your bulb choices.
