Building my garden year on year. Taking it from a very overgrown jungle of shrubs and weeds that hadn’t been touched in years to a productive vegetable garden. This is a space for me to take a moment from a busy life, relax and enjoy being outside yet still feel i’m being productive.
My aim is to keep enriching the soil and growing better crops year after year. I love a pretty flower garden and slowly I will add to this as I develope the garden futher. As the garden matures i’m sure things will all slot in to place and become a beatiful abundance of blooms.
We are in a small town and the garden isn’t huge, I may not be able to produce everything we eat but I’d like to try to suppliment our meals as much as possible. Trying to squeeze as much as possible into this space is a challenge but by interplanting and finding different ways to grow things thats half the fun.
Wildlife is also very important to me. I try to keep things organic and encourage pollinators into the garden. I will leave weeds in the lawn in patches that I mow round and add little water areas for insects, birds and frogs amongst the vegetable garden.
