This page links you to entries from Miranda's garden diary from 2005 - 2008 - we hope you find it interesting.
In late 2008 we began trying to re-establish a kitchen garden on a farm in West Oxfordshire and the kitchen garden journal covers some of the work we did.
Real life interrupted things (as so often happens) as Miranda started a blog on the Royal Horticultural Society website at the same time as beginning to try and set up a small gardening business. Trying to set up a business is a slow and time consuming matter, and time for projects suddenly became very tight and we had to scale back our plans for content here on wildchicken.
The garden diaries are here as an archive, and you can see a list of Miranda's wildlife garden blogs here. Her blog on the RHS can be found in the 'wild about gardening' section - you can see a list of the posts here and here
