Pip, I’m that lurker, back again, who adores your garden and hangs on all the words you write. I rarely comment, as processing what I learn from your work, and planning for the future of my own garden, is what I do best. I’m nearly 70, and have been a gardener all my life, but reading your descriptions ignites my inner spark.

I am totally gobsmacked by the level of energy that you and Hugo show, the rate of progress that you generate, your multiple projects, your enthusiasm and devotion to writing, your wonderful sense of the capacity of your community, all the while being thoughtful parents to Ines. I don’t know how you do it all!

But I can’t wait for you to write more, so I can devour the ‘next bit’! 💚

Oh thank you, Meron. What generous words and it's always so nice to hear when, what we're doing, is inspiring others in what they're doing. Many thanks again for your kind support. Pip and Hugo xo

I have followed you for quite a few years and have learnt so much about gardening and improving the soil! I find myself saying to my husband “well Pip and Hugo suggest ...” I look forward to learning so much more through my subscription Pip!

We have been following your journey for a couple of months now and have been really inspired by your thoughts and ideas. We are looking forward to hearing so much more and to empathising with you as we start on our own similar journey in Tas in a couple of months. Thank you for sharing. Kylee and Ian.

Thank you so much, Kylee and Ian. I hope you continue to find it informative and inspiring. It'll be worth all the blood, sweat and tears, hopefully no blood and not too many tears, this we know. Best wishes on your journey too xo

Beautiful words, Pip. So looking forward to following.

I'm a gardener whose been around a few years and I still know little to nothing and love hearing others' journeys so that I can learn.

A garden is to my soul what chocolate is to my taste buds...

Sunday morning, me, coffee and finally time to start reading your story. We're in the same boat starting everything from scratch. I already had couple of failures but don't give up. And can't wait to follow your path and learn from you.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us all :-)
