Spring
Spring is a time of renewal, so my plan is to renew this blog simply because I enjoy recording what I do. I started the blog, many years ago, to record our progress as we moved to this country property, but too often I… Continue Reading “Spring”
Hedgehog Hill garden 2018 April 1st
Recently I’ve been watching “The Good Life” not the recent American series, rather the BBC sitcom from the mid 70’s. It was based on a husband and wife who decide to try for a life of self sufficiency in suburban Britain. Of course they… Continue Reading “Hedgehog Hill garden 2018 April 1st”

Red and White Currants
It is lovely weather here at Hedgehog Hill. we had a few days that were hot and very humid, but after some much-needed cloud bursts last night we are into perfect summer weather. I am still learning what is here from the previous owners and… Continue Reading “Red and White Currants”
