In amongst all the 'hard landscaping' we've been doing, there has also been a bit of planting of seedlings and seeds in the newly constructed terrace beds south of the house.
In amongst all the 'hard landscaping' we've been doing, there has also been a bit of planting of seedlings and seeds in the newly constructed terrace beds south of the house.
The 'wiggly' bed to the east has also been filled with soil and is now ready for a manure mulch and salad plantings
Our raised beds of refugee topsoil are doing exceptionally well. This is the turnip crop - heavily over-sown, so we are cropping it for salad leaves to thin out.
Inside the micro polytunnel, the Moringa is doing incredibly well. Very exciting. It seems this is the way to go to keep them alive over winter - cut short and wrap up well.
Dave demonstrates one of our baby turnips, ready to saute' for lunch, with Moringa polytunnel in the background.
And hurrah! Well before expected, a white lily appears in the pond.
A birthday present from a thoughtful friend - a Cordyline plant for architectural interest around the pond.
Prepping the next terrace bed up the slope. Now the wiggly bed has been filled, there is enough space around the spoil heap to finish building this one.
