My Blog Of The Month for November comes from Scotland and is written by Rozzie. Grow My Own Eden is a new blog, there's only twenty two posts so far, but I enjoy reading a blog right from the beginning and following the journey. I've gone back and read all of Rozzie's posts, which are really interesting.
Gardening in Scotland can be hit and miss because of the weather, but it doesn't put Rozzie off, as you can see, she makes good use of her greenhouse and packs it to the rafters.
I was really interested in some of the things which Rozzie is growing, things I haven't tried myself such as goji berries, cucamelons, okra and sweet potatoes, not to mention an almond. I'm looking forward to hearing more about these and everything else which Rozzie is growing.
I'm sure there'll be plenty for Rozzie to blog about over the coming months as she is going to try and overwinter various plants. I'll be especially interested to hear if she manages to keep the aubergines growing as I'm sure they'll benefit from being established early in the year.
If you haven't yet had a chance to pop over to Rozzie's blog, do try now as I'm sure you'll enjoy reading it. Don't forget to tell her that I sent you.
You prompted me as I haven't visited Rozzie's blog for a while.
ReplyDeleteGlad I could be of service.
DeleteI shall pop over now to have a look. How nice for you to give a heads up like this!

I hope you enjoy your visit. I think all new bloggers should be given a helping hand, it's hard to find get yourself out there sometimes.
DeleteThanks Jo. It is the joy of blogging to discover so many people with a shared interest but then with their own personal story. It is fascinating to read about how different people cope with different climates and finding out what they grow.
ReplyDeleteI love finding people who blog about similar things as I do, so I like to share with others when I do.
DeleteOh thanks Jo for a most timely reminder to vist Rozzie who kindly commented on my blog recently. Will be interested to read how she got on with cucamelons. My only seed to germinate curled up its toes at a young age. Maybe I will be able to discover where I went wrong :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though Rozzie got her cucamelons a little further on than you did. I've never tried growing them before but I'm fascinated now.
DeleteInteresting to hear about other peoples blogs that you might not normally find. Thank you Jo. xx
ReplyDeleteI hope I've helped people find other blogs with my little Blog Of The Month post throughout the year.
DeleteRozzie was one of the winners of my recent seed giveaway, which brought her blog to my attention. Like you I am impressed with her decision to grow some unusual things. I think you have probably backed a winner here!
ReplyDeleteI'm always impressed by people who grow something different. My allotment is filled with basic veg, things which I know we'll all eat.
DeleteSounds really interesting, I shall go have a peek now.xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll enjoy reading it.
DeleteWow!! I was looking through my blog reader, as I refresh it every day to catch up on the latest posts from my favourite growing and foodie blogs and I literally thought to myself, "Why is there a picture of my greenhouse on here? Blogger must be broken and mixing in some of my posts with the ones I'm following." But this is far better!! I'm so touched to be featured on a blog that I adore so much!! I'm also interested to see how some people have commented here about the actual things I grow, I'm glad people find it so interesting, and think I might do a post soon about my experience thus far with cucamelons now. Thank you SO much Jo, I'm touched and thrilled! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I'm sure others will be really interested to read about your experience with the more unusual things that you grow, and I know I'll be interested to hear how you get on with your overwintering experiments.
DeleteThanks for mentioning this blog which I've not come across before, so I've bookmarked it to have a good look later on and say hello. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteThis must be one of the very few blogs I've highlighted which you haven't read before, so I hope you enjoy it.
DeleteI will go over and check out Rozzies blog!!
ReplyDeleteI was really interested to read about the more unusual things which Rozzie's growing, I'm sure you will be too.
