9th May

Our wildflower bed from last year appears to have self-seeded, but we are not sure what exactly is growing?  We are hoping that this is Cosmos as it was so lovely last summer.

Our potatoes are coming up nicely - time to add a bit more soil.

Our Comfrey bed is growing daily, now that it is starting to flower the bees are buzzing around.

We spotted a few flowers on one of our Blueberry bushes.

Staking the peas.

We are continuing working on the little willow fence which will protect our fruit area of the garden, which has been under-sown with lots of wildflowers.

Here is the first one of our new raised veggie beds.  We got all of our materials for making the beds from Potts in North Shields who have been great at giving us lots of advice about what we need for our different garden projects.

Here is the site as we left it this weekend - we managed to get a couple of raised beds into position and have cleaned the hen house out and used the material to provide a nutrient rich base for our beds.  Next job is ordering the soil..................
