I agree with Ian on the conker trick...works a treat.
We get loads of spiders in our house and leave conkers along the skirting boards and in the corners of the rooms...seems to work. It makes for good conversation too...
There's also a spray to de…

The perks of the job for me are the rather awesome people that have me work in their gardens...lots of tea and cake and sharing of harvests and great stories. I've also been to various gatherings that they've had and most of them send me a postcard…
I often finish working early afternoon on a Wednesday anyway and tomorrow will be one of those days,so will probably be enticed by the goings on!!!
They have to play better than the last game though eh??? I'm not bothered if they win or loose to be…
I agree...I took the names of all the 3 that I said no to last week...I also said that if they are still stuck for a gardener,to give me a call at the end of July as this is the time of year that I tend to get spare time cropping up.
Hi folks,
This week I've had to say no to 3 potential customers...I had to do it as I can only do so much physical work in a week...I like to save some energy for my own garden and huge allotment plot :o)
It's great that I get lots of calls as I d…
We had exactly the same happen at our house yesterday...outside eating breakfast..a huge Hornet did a fly by and stopped to check out the eaves of our house...amazing creatures but they freak me out a bit and don't want them living in our roof. It f…

- About Me:
- I've had many jobs...cooking top notch food to managment...but gardening has always been my 'hobby'!
My last job was managing an independant clothes shop...one day a bright idea popped into my head...'I know...I'll give this all up and start my own buisness...doing what I love most...Gardening!!
So 7 years ago I did just that...I started off working for a small gardening company to get an idea of how the buisness works on a day to day basis...
I then went to college to make sure my knowledge was up to scratch...I now have an RHS horticulture certificate-I want to learn more and tackle garden design next. I had a few private gardens I worked in whilst doing this.
When the course finished I took on more gardens and started my own buisness.
I also grow plants in my small plant nursery.
Working outside with Mother Nature-best job ever in my opinion!
The gardens I work in are all sizes and all varieties...keeps me warm and busy and happy!

- I'm stir crazy too. I've done loads of marketing stuff, downloaded pictures to go on the website etc but it's not the same as getting out there. We had a job today and work tomorrow that we probably can't do plus 2 lots of winter pruning which we can't do because it's slippy underfoot - please let it all go soon!!
