What is and what should always be

We are really excited with the new look we want to give our concrete courtyard.

before — Last year we managed to turn it from an unloved, littered area…

after — to a fantastic herb garden where bumble bees, butterflies and ladybirds gather frantically.

And this year (we know it’s a little late in the season but never mind, we could always grow japanese greens, broad beans, peas, hardy salad leaves, spring onions… and of course get everything ready for next season) we intend to go beyond the limits adding more containers, pots and a cold frame to grow fruit and veggies.

Watch this space for exciting changes!
Slowly but surely the project is taking shape.

Things are looking good in the cold frame!! A lot of the cuttings we put in pots last season have rooted, although it has been some degree of failure. Building a few more wooden pots and a stand for the water butt.
What started as a sort of experiment turned out with a good percentage of success anyways.
