Lots of planting today before the Spring begins to merge into Summer, as often it does! Working in the fruit gardens by the Lughnasadh Garden is a joy as it affords me an opportunity to cast glances across at the new garden from quite different angles!
I gave away many of these sturdy plants and so decided to plant the excess here in the new garden.
As you can see I am planting directly on top of the mulched area of cardboard and straw.
Bees should certainly enjoy these new gardens!
I shall cardboard and straw mulch the area around this tree in the coming days so as to suppress all weeds.
Elsewhere in the garden I have moved this home made wood shelter into place to store all the cut willow for use next winter.
This gives an over view of what I’ve done so far.
(Oops, there appears to be a rain drop on the lens!)
The tunnel is fast becoming my favourite place…I will set up a rocket stove nearby for making tea!
