A little gardening

13 April 2019

After a morning of lugging buckets around for the kitchen floor slab, we've been spending a little time in the garden in the afternoons - aching backs permitting!  Just touching up here and there, doing a bit of strimming the paths (until the strimmer broke) and weeding the beds.

 Our little patch of lavender has gone crazy.  The bees love it.

 I weeded and tidied up the hugel beds.  The rotten wood cores have now mostly collapsed (releasing nutrients into the soil, and they look very healthy.  One of the self-seeded trees has produced blossom, so we are hoping for fruit to identify what they are.

 Some left-over wood made into the basis of a raised bed.  All the wood cluttering the living room will have to be cleared out in the next week or so, ready for the floor in there, so this did two jobs in one go.  I need more time to gather up compost for it tho'.

 Hedge trimming the path down the side of the washing line.

 The comfrey - which I was afraid we'd lost over the winter - back with a flourish!

The origano crop.  Left to dry in the solarium

Also in the solarium, a few seeds started.
