Making the beds

22 Jan 2018

The weather has turned fabulous, and the wood for the ceiling boards has arrived, but we just want to be outside, making beds ready for planting.

 The mini-hugel bed, with thriving artichokes and strawberries, and an avocado that just turned up

 My precious comfrey plant, struggling a little, but still alive - so I straw mulched it.

 The big hugel bed, cleaned and manured, and waiting for mulch

There are about seven of these little trees growing up in the hugel beds, they may be apple trees from pips in the compost, so I protected them.  They may not amount to much, but all trees are good and may provide shade in a few years.
