i got a new plant, Agapanthus Africanus, seems really lovely, also can survive winters, but am mainly liking it for the shape of its many flowers, and a bee-friendly plant too, also a must for me, something what is good for the bees, butterflies


also going for the edible flower seeds too same as last year but a little different, instead of poppies, going for nasturtiums which look similar, and also hollyhocks which are amazing for some height in your garden





as for my vegetable garden

lettuce, since that is soooo easy to grow

chard, because of variety in colours they come in, red/orange/yellow

carrots, also fairly easy to grow



in terms of fruit trees we got quite a lot of plums, a new Morell cherry, elstar apple


we got a quite wet area at our seating area, the soil behind our bench, so we decided to go for cobbler plants (Bergenia) since they grow well in moist soil too



in terms of rainfall, we cannot complain this year, sooo much rain and snow what turned into water automatically too for nature over here

i'm gonna laugh if there is complaints over droughts this summer tbh
Nice write up Nicky
