Please any amateur psychologists … feel free to diagnose me 😂 I am not usually scared of the phone, but I have really been putting this task off.

I feel like my allotment definitely feeds the introverted side of my personality, so I shouldn’t have to make phone calls to do it 🥹 I’m sure other allotmenteers are the same…? (Speak now!)

Today I did make a lot of progress and needed a full body shower when I got home.

I also spent today properly measuring the plot so I can make a plan! 😎

This basic colour combo has been bothering me …. Do you think this will work?

If you’re ordering spring bulbs I have some discount codes below 👇 these photos are mine and from Farmer Gracy

I don’t want to remove plants so I want to try to make the scheme work better. By adding less saturated colours I want to bridge the gap between the primary colours, reduce intensity and make it more connected.

Shade loving plant recommendations (Ad 🌙) I love shady gardens because you get to work with such interesting foliage and texture. Full plant list and discount code below, so save this post 💌. BUT, first…

🌓Before you choose plants, check if your working with full shade or partial shade.

Plants that only tolerate partial shade will really struggle in full shade.

To be honest, in most urban gardens, you will have a lot of partial shade and I know it’s the full shade that is trickiest. For each plant I’ve put the MOST shade it can tolerate - e.g Heuchera can tolerate full shade but also partial shade. One of the many reasons I loveeeee heucheras!

💌 Plant list:
Brunnera Jack Frost
Anemone Fantasy Pochahuntas
Carex Prairie Fire
Pennisetum Hameln
Tiarella Angel Wings
Geum Totally Tangerine
Heuchera Midnight Rose
Hydrangea Vanille Fraise 🌓

🌟 Bonus options: astrantia, astillbe, hardy geraniums, forget me bots, hostas, hellebores and foxgloves are also all brilliant for shade and all VERY beautiful (and I have those in other areas!!)

All these plants were from gardenersdream.co.uk. If you’re in the mood to buy some beautiful new plants, you can get 15% off (including sale) with my code SARAH15. You know I love a discount code so feel free to use and abuse that! 😘🤑

‼️If you order plants online, it’s important to open them as soon as possible, give them air and keep them moist until you can plant them. Plants do not like being kept in boxes for long! It can help to prepare your planting area before they arrive.

And if you’re new here, hi 👋 I’m Sarah Rose and I garden in my rented houseshare in Sheffield. I love to share my design ideas and celebrate how garden supports nature and our mental and physical health!

If gardening feels like something “I have to do” I realise I’ve got in a mental muddle. I love the satisfaction of finishing a project or seeing things grow. But I garden to spend time outdoors, exercise and connect with nature. The garden is looking after itself. You don’t have to worry about it.

Ad🌱 These plants have made me fall in love the shady area of my garden again! I’ve put the plant list below. As always, take your time and observe how the plants get on once you’ve planted them - even within “shade” there’s a lot of variation and micro climates. Watch the garden and learn from it!

Plant List ✨
Brunnera Jack Frost
Anemone Fantasy Pochahuntas
Carex Prairie Fire
Pennisetun Hameln
Tiarella Angel Wings
Geum Totally Tangerine
Heuchera Midnight Rose
Heuchera Silver Scrolls
Hydrangea Vanille Fraise
Hydrangea petiolaris (climbing hydrangea)

Amongst those new plants, I also have some existing hellebores, astillbe and hardy geraniums.

All the new plants are from and I was blown away by the quality and how carefully packaged they were. The plants are gorgeous, I cannot wait to see them grow up! 🥹

I don’t think I’m gonna make it as a food content creator 😂This really didn’t go to plan

Turns out my 20 year old juicer struggled a bit with the turmeric root, and now it’s completely yellow. As is my kitchen. I’m really not an aesthetic cook. Or drinker.

I wish I could say I was exaggerating this reaction but it was SO hot. And I like ginger! Now, my plan was to water it down with some apple juice from the garden apples, but that’s another story…

If you’re new here, hi 👋 I’m Sarah Rose and I’m a gardener and I’m currently trying to drink a LOT more after having a kidney stone last year. Turns out I hate drinking and I’m also lazy. So I’m trying to make it a bit more fun! Especially by using produce from my garden.
