All is right with the world.
I have dirt under my nails, a glass of wine in my hand, a cat at my feet and 5kg of Jerusalem artichokes in a bucket on the deck.
I also have a new paved patio, a bag of barley seed to sow, a michelia hedge at the end of my deck, a couple of hundred dead snails marinating in salt water, gravel under my olive grove, a pruned crabapple, two limbed-up kanukas, half a weeded rose garden and four small almonds, each 5mm long, developing on my dwarf 'Garden Prince' almond tree.
I also have a rotten infestation of grass grubs. I sense my organic ambitions are about to become horribly unstuck.
At least the broad beans are fattening up. They'll be ready to eat next week.

Hi Lynda,
Hope you got our sample kit of Nature's Curator - expect it will really help with your experiment of going totally organic.
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers,
Lauren & the Nature's Curator team.
Hello!
I'm a kind of home-gardener and home-cook all together at one. I have been wanting to plant my own asparagus and artichoke for quite some time but I haven't really found any stores which sell these plants. I found asparagus roots ready to plant in the garden centre at the Red House, but I thought I did not have a space for them just as yet, but now when it's ready, they're gone. Good luck on your new plants :) It's just the good time of the year and nearly, nearly the time we're all going to have a great feast of all the labour in the garden. Let us know!
I've got a rotten infestation of horrible grass grubs too. Any tips for getting rid of them as organically as possible?
Leigh
