The gardens. Picture update.

The Forest garden                 

                                     

The forest garden is really starting to take shape.

                                   




One of the tractor tyres, full of stable muck and compost, rotting down to plant in next year.   


Hazel


A potato experiment in an old compost bin (Bird cherry and blackthorn in the back)


Two bird cherry saplings, planted in tyres to protect from errant strimmers and make weeding easier.


Raspberry and gooseberry 


Compost tyre in use.


Jerusalem artichokes... You will have them FOREVER!!




The front garden

This garden will be made into a mostly non-edible garden next year, but this year we still have a little in it.


Garlic, planted in December and growing strong now. 


Rhubarb!



Vegetable garden


Trunk has early potato's in. The black tub, carrot and the green tub, late planted garlic. 


New rhubarb bed.


Lungwort. This bed will also have wild garlic in it so it will be my wild herb bed.


Strawberries in an old trough.


Small hedge planted. hawthorn, black thorn and goarse.

Chicken runs.


Bird cherry in the summer run.


Small tree in the winter run. Never even knew it was there before the chickens cleared the ground!!


View of the winter run, from the back fence.



And also............ 

I have a few shelf baskets in the house.You're meant to use them like this........

                                    

Owen obviously thought around that.... Obviously, looking at objects in another way is in the genes ;)
