Key Holes






I tried out a key hole but I quite like square beds - maybe it´s something to get used to.
I´ve used it for the herbs and to start off seedlings. There are little lizards living in the walls and I´m no botanist/biologist but I think it´s vegetarian! The seedlings disappear! I have put in rocket which has gone quickly to flower and I have to say is a bit on the peppery side for my taste. The onions did ok but they are very small and are growing very slowly. Could this be the affect of the Walnut leaves falling in this area! Yes there are nettles in the picture too - apparently they help tomatoes grow well - feeble excuse!

What's wrong with a bit of pepper? It could be that some of these vegetables need a lot of manure or fertiliser to grow well, which is maybe where the chickens come in.

The Journey Begins

In actual fact the journey began some time ago. The Design course has reinforced decisions that had already been made and given me the tools to put together some sort of plan to make that first step a little less daunting. I returned from the two week course today and although extremely tired I have been so motivated not just by the course, but by the people I had the good fortune to meet, that I have created this blog. I owe a great deal of thanks to those people, for their inspiration, support and a great deal of laughter. I'm not sure what the outcomes will be, but I am sure it will be an interesting journey and welcome you to join me.
