Spanish Garden
Gardening on the Costa Blanca — practical advice, seasonal jobs and a little humour along the way.
Welcome to my garden in Spain. I’m James, and this is where I share what I’m growing, what I’m learning and, occasionally, what the chickens have been up to. The Mediterranean climate brings its own opportunities and challenges, so the advice here is rooted in real experience of gardening in the Spanish sunshine.
From the garden diary
Read the latest notes from the garden, including seasonal jobs, successes, failures and the continuing adventures of Cruella and her girls.
- I prepare for Winter and Cruella worries that Helga has anorexia
- I prepare for Autumn and Cruella insists the chicken have raincoats
- Cruella dreams of a chicken theme park whilst I tackle garden armageddon
- Tie up, mark up and net up
- I grow my thumb nails long and the chickens get air conditioning
A little about this blog
I started this blog to share the lessons learned while adapting my gardening experience to Spain. The climate, soil and growing seasons are different from those in the UK, and there is always something new to discover. My aim is to offer useful, down-to-earth information without taking the business of gardening too seriously.
