More sun. More lockdown. More gratitude.
Goodbye brussels! New strawberry beds The bed that is my nemesis: I don’t quite know what possessed me to try to make this a border, but I persevere…possibly a sign of insanity… Yet again I had the best intentions of growing various shrubs from seed. I confess the follow through didn’t come to much (they all needed fairly involved stratification and sometimes scarification which I rather lost track of…) Bamboo harvested from escapees from our neighbours’ garden used as a rose wind-break and guard The blueberries grow on Pigeon-protected brassicas Peas! The onions doing well Persevering with the infamous border
Matted grasses that had been growing on top of the black plastic we use around our new trees The Birkenstocks will *not* be given up on… I’ve had these buttons for a good few years now and thought they may be useful for a Higher project. Turns out they weren’t needed so I still have them for a project of my own (don’t know what it is yet…) Buttons! Sorted for a crafty project A Christmas candle that kept me company An absolute beast of a thistle by the kitchen window The last of the WonderBox. Oh, it was joyous
