Hi I’m Susy B

I’m a real mixture. Half Italian, Half Austrian, Brought up in Australia and married to a British/Irish man.

I love gardening. I especially love growing fruit and vegetables. And the more exotic they are the better. I also love cooking. Give me an ingredient and I’ll make you something delicious. Being brought up in the  Southern Hemisphere I do miss the ingredients you used to get from the greengrocers, so I now try to grow them here in the Northern Hemisphere, which is a challenge but I love trying.

Seasonal eating is very important to me, and where our food comes from is all part of it. I was fortunately brought up by parents who also had the same values. Part of my childhood was spent on a farm in Australia so growing and rearing our own was always there. Even when I was at University and lived in flat, I filled the balcony with fruit and vegetables.

I am now living in lovely Lincolnshire UK and grow all my fruit and Veg in our walled garden in raised beds, pots, an unheated greenhouse and my vegepod.

Susybliving is my lifestyle journey. I really enjoy sharing my experiences of growing and cooking what I grow. I hope you will as well.
