Henshaw's Horticultural Blog: Garden In Transit

So, I'm moving house today ! And the most important thing, obviously and of course, is moving my beautiful plants, herbs, shrubberies and garden !!



And here's a couple of action shots of me in the garden, I know you don't get them all too often, but here I am, where I love, doing what I love ... Getting my hands muddy, like the picture at the top, and then like my friend Zee said, it's all about the smell and feel of the earth and then sitting back, reflecting on your hard work with a nice cup of Yorkshire Tea !

And what had I been doing ? Harvesting my crop, potatoes and garlic in the main, but there's some strawberries on their way, and they're currently living in jam jars - Top Tip - jam jars are great for strawberries, protect them, insulate them and give them room to grow in a safe, warm, snug environment. Here's a picture of some of my little lot, ready for the road ...



... and that's just the half of it !!

But, anyway, also, and this, here's a nice thing ... I reached out recently for someone to help me identify these flowers (below), and my good friends at the 'Serenity in the Garden' blog got in touch with me a told me that these gloriously small and delicate pink little beauties are in fact "Claytonia Sibirica" ... so, thank you eternally for that, and to everyone else, go and plant some yourself, they're super cute, good for the bees and easy to care for. Spread The Love !!



Peace, Love & Tea, MHx

PS. #TheWayItIs will be online later in the week, second track from the 'Always In The Way' EP, hope you're excited for that ... I am ...

The East Midlands & above ...

So, you will have no doubt (should have) read from the previous blog that I've been driving around and about in Leicester, well, I've continued up and carried on from there in the last week or so hitting some of my old haunts, seeing old friends and singing the occasional tune along the way. Sheffield (home of the mighty Owls!), Nottingham (former home of Censored, remember them?), Derby (home of ReggiiMental aka Jimmy B-Boy and The Deepest Cellar) and Eastwood (birthplace of DH Lawrence) have all been graced by my presence amongst other nooks of LE, DE, NG and South Yorkshire ... I hope those towns and cities of bricks and mortar enjoyed my visits as much as I did ...

... had to check out this young talent whilst visiting home ... maybe you should too ... video by the one and only Michael Holyk ...



Also, my old pal Will Jeffery is still sounding raspy and beautiful as ever ... appearing here with the ever wonderful Zoe Kirk ...
