Some of our summer 2023 successes have been:
Propagating variegated perennial kale
Seeing the succession in the outer field - with thistles being usurped by the next round of nature
Leaving a wild patch in an area with the veg beds and seeing poppies and vetch growing happily
So many bees enjoying the flowers, and hoverflies and ladybirds moving in
Spying some tomatoes which have self-seeded from last year
Comfrey taking over a corner near the peach tree which has two peaches on it!
In our first year, we did lots. We managed to, amongst other things:
Put up a polytunnel
Creat lots of raised beds
Plant a wood
Invest in a table and canopy for lovely communal meals
Learn how to scythe
Harvest lots of plums, tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, spinach, beetroot, lettuces and squash
Grow some flowers
Work out that rabbits like eating lots of things
Make (well, started to make) lots of lovely compost
Experiment with off grid fridges and solar ovens
Enjoy the fresh air and have fun
