A short update today. I have planted out some of my seeds: dobby's beetroot, giant improved flack (?) carrot, asparagus lettuce and clarke's beltony blue pea. These are all heritage seed varieties, which means they are no longer on the commercial seed register so the seeds have to be obtained by swapping or membership to the heritage seed library. I am very hopeful about all these lovely rare varieties of veg andfingres crossed I get at least one decent plant from each... but only time will tell.
I have also put a little path in around the pond to the compost bin and scattered some woodland wild flowers to attract bees and butterflies. Shady areas are so difficult to use for growing anything edible that they may as well be used for wildlife, and it is near the pond so it has definitely become the nature area.
When things have started to happen I will post up some photos, but today there will just be text.
