My goodness I've been slack of late!!! Lots going on, as there always is this time of year. So to say sorry I took a bunch of pics around the croft to show you whats going on :)
Enjoy!
Jenny dog waiting for me to come out. The Front of the house has been getting an extensive overhaul the last few months, its now looking much less of an eye sore!
Jenny and Merle in the front herb garden. Kim built this for me this spring and its slowly getting filled with herbs. Some of the Thyme and Sage is even grown from seed on the windowsill over the winter!
This year I planted lots of pots and beds with wild flowers to attract more incects.
Elder flowers waiting for a sunny day to be picked!
Yes. That is a toilet cistern! We follow the three R's up here!
Growing lots of sunflowers to use primarily as bird food in the autumn.
It hasn't all been rosey in the garden. We've had major tree problems, namely coral fungus.
Hens are laying 2 eggs a day at the moment. Sadly we lost two last month and are down to four hens again.
Sally aka Purple chicken, escaped to come and see what I was doing in the veg garden.
Lots of DIY planters made this year. Curly kale growing in this old feed trough.
Salad in this old wheel barrow.
Rocket in a supported bit of black plastic.
The new rhubarb bed has exploded!!!!
More wild flowers

A no dig experiment with potatoes this year!
Two old tractor tyres utilised to grow courgette and pumpkin in.
