A Great Gardening Year!
For many of us 2020 meant a time of enforced time at home and the gardeners among us used it as an opportuniy to spend time tweaking, growing and pruning. We made chutneys, jams and all sorts of things we may not normally get the time to enjoy.
I am always looking to share new stories about gardens so if you have something you are proud of, let me know.
Next weeks column will feature another new gardener which may just give inspiration to anyone thinking to start a garden.
To finish my 2020 garden visits I caught up with Heather and Joe who had started their permaculture garden and Hugelkultur beds back in the summer.
The garden is looking really good now and they have added more straw bale beds and an inventive potato tower made from layers of compost and straw which looks impressive. Up the side of the tower are broad beans which are receiving support there.They say its definitely been the right way to start their garden and have been harvesting peas, salads, celery and other vegetables.
So Happy New Year everyone, lets hope 2021 is another great gardening year.
