Summer Flowers

Its now July 2017 and we have been here for just over a year, The previous owners were really keen gardeners and we are reaping the benefits now with some beautiful summer flowers in the garden.

My wife has been keeping the weeds down, a little area of garden every few days keeps them in check. I manage the Veg and produce growing, lots of weeds there as well. An update on the veg coming soon.

Compost production is going well, we have 4 bays for the waste, each one is approx 4 ft x 4ft, the compost is placed into the end one and then as it rots we move it to the next.

The weather has been kind to us, Hot and Sunny and then a few refreshing days of Rain, I need more water butts to store rain water, we can currently store around 400 ltrs which soon goes down in a hot dry week.

 

Lots to do in the garden over the coming months, Next week, an update on the Vegetable garden and thoughts of chutney making.
