natures bounty


Its hard to imagine a more spectacular time in the countryside when you see woodland filled with Bluebells. Even the hedgerow surrounding the Kitchen Garden is filled with their nodding blue heads. And the fragrance ! ! it just cannot be surpassed. OK, so seedlings of other native plants drift into the garden, so what ! One mans weeds are another mans compost. And if they didnt germinate it would not say much for the quality of our soil.
Talking of soil, we have ousted the Globe Artichokes from their raised bed and moved them elsewhere, and are now re-jeuvenating the soil. Mr Mole kindly decided to dig most of it our last year and the bed has become very low so we are taking the opportunity to incorporate well rotted manure and leafmold by the barrowfull. This will be home to some unusual squashes this year. More about them later.
