I want to get my garden up to scratch this weekend. Thankfully the gods have smiled and cancelled life as we know it- so who knows what we may end up with.

Autumn

Tidy, dig and plant, measure and plan.

Then dig!

Keep tuned as we get our trees - all 9 of them into the ground. I want to have a food forest , a sculptural aural and edible delight.

Arbour fancies- grape vines, edible arbour, snake beans cucumbers,jasmine vine or hardenbergia native jasmine, or japonica and for a real old cottage garden look - a wisteria

Indoor patio or anywhere trellis- great for small spaces

Old world flowers- stunning and edible!

Stunning massive multi head sunflowers. It grew 2m tall and had 17 flowers. Love the old heirloom plants . I kept seed for next summer but I notice some seedlings are coming up now because of the warm March weather. Keep posted and I will update if they get big enough to flower.
