When I started writing this blog just before Christmas last year it was because we were planning on sorting out our garden, planning on growing some vegetables and fruit and creating a really nice space to spend some time. Well, it’s done – from a renovation point of view any way. The addition of the conservatory has made the garden accessible whatever the weather, the large patio is private and great for entertaining, big enough for seats and potted flowers but not so big that the garden feels like it is all patio. The grass is starting to grow back nicely and the little vegetable beds are thriving.

So, this is where I Grew This Earlier is closing down but that does not mean that I am abandoning the garden bloggers community. I am moving on from renovation to cooking and what better to cook than your own home grown produce. There will still be gardening tips and diaries just under a new name. So thanks for all of your comments, I will be keeping up with you still, I hope you will do the same.
