Grumblegarden: Cobra Lily Update
Posted on August 2, 2009 by grumblemouse
You may remember a few weeks ago after a wander round Columbia Road Flower maket Callum from The London Vegetable Garden and I challenged each other to a Lily-Off – this might in fact be East London’s first ever Lily-Off, until someone proves me otherwise I’m going to call it like that!

GrumbleGarden: Picture Update
Posted on June 3, 2009 by grumblemouse
So I went away back to my parents this weekend – good times, chatting with my mum under trees that she’d planted essentially when I was born. Kind of reminded me of Marx’s theory of alienation which I love and also one of the reasons I think I dabble in the art of growing things [...]
