Berries and Blossom

 The peacharine tree has lovely blossoms on it.

 We harvested Kohlrabi, Celeriac and Italian Parsley and we cooked some great new recipes. Also made a stir fry and fritters with cauliflower, absolutely delicious.

These are the first blueberries on our new plant, it is covered in flowers, looking forward to that harvest too.

The nature strip paths now include flowers, the marigolds look happy and the fig tree is starting to get leaves on again.

Adding Layers - No Dig Garden

We have now added the following to this new garden, cardboard, newspaper, grass clippings, manure and today I trimmed the Mulberry tree and the Olive tree and cut the trimmings into the garden. The Fig Tree clearly loves its new position.

Today in our Garden

 We have now replanted, manured, weeded and mulched most of the main front garden. Here you can also see one of the three bird baths and the mulberry tree in the background.

 We have trimmed back the basil and thyme and pulled out the spent tomato plants and planted beetroot, capsicum, coriander, lettuce and chillies.

 We have left in some of the spinach and rainbow chard and here you can see cucumbers, one of the compost bins,  and the grape vine growing up the trunk.

 We have two compost bins and three bird baths in the front garden, here you can also see the tomato bush we have not cleared out yet, growing with a volunteer pumpkin vine, in front of the pomegranate tree.

 This is the lamb's ear ground cover plant which is growing below one of our fig trees.

 Here is the food hedge at the front, and the row of trees in the nature strip, an olive, fig and loquat.

 There is also an almond tree amongst the fejoas.

 Hers is the yarrow plant that we have growing under the loquat tree, it is supposed to assist any plant that it grows near to.

 We now have three types of fig tree, two in pots and this one in the ground.

And whilst we have not yet feverfew flowers for their medicinal properties they certainly look lovely in this vase with the lily.
