Currently deep into next years planning, sowing, planting and prepping. It’s been an exhausting year - physically, mentally and personally, so it’s important to document how far we’ve come when the overwhelm kicks in… and when I say we, this mostly does just mean me.
What started as an empty field with really poor quality soil, huge bramble walls, invasive weeds and mounds of rubbish, is slowly being transformed.
Lots of perennials and shrubs are going into the ground this autumn. They have been patiently potted up over the years, many are divided from other perennials, others grown from cuttings and seeds. Hoping they will be able to lay deep enough roots in preparation for whatever next season throws our way.
No extensions are planned for next season. The focus is on maximising the current grow space, getting the perennials healthy and established, improving soil health, adding a lot more rainwater harvesting and most importantly and crucially install that darn irrigation!
