a forest garden ... or food forest ...
Forest gardening rocks... :). It's the interaction of plants that are functional, edible, medicinal, or brilliant for looking after other plants we like.  It's got lots to do with permaculture and organic growing, and combines the idea of the productivity of a forest, with the edible harvest we require as human beings.  We're planting lots of perennial fruit and vegetables, fruit trees, shrubs, herbaceous, ground cover and climbing plants and it's starting to look flippin' gorgeous...
Louis made the signs to stop us getting lost when we're growing stuff...
Old tyres filled with chicken bedding (straw and chicken poo), soil, home-made compost and kitchen compost, left to rot down over the winter...yum!
Wood pile...energy for us, and a great habitat for our garden mates...toads, frogs, mice and millions of insects...
Summer and autumn fruiting raspberries...and they reproduce like rabbits!
Tools of the trade...
Loads of piles of dead wood isn't messy - it's permaculturally fabulous for wildlife!
Purple mangetout and beans in the green house...very happy.
Sweet peas going ballistic in the greenhouse...
It's good to know what you've planted...and peas and beans like togetherness.
My daughter sees things invisible to us all...
Dew drops on a misty morning...
'strawdinary.....'nuff said.
She caught the bee in flagrante...amazing...
You can almost see the sound...
Somehow ridiculously gorgeous in black and white...wild geraniums. Awesome.
