Garden Clutter

Ok – so now I am back in my garden and all I see is clutter and mishmash and an overgrown, totally out-of-control garden. Well, that is not so bad because I don’t particularly like too much order in my garden! They say that weeds are plants that haven’t learnt to grow in rows! But a happy companion growth is good!! All I decided to do today was record the, aah-hem! mess! I’m feeling less and less energetic! But I know that this is my weekend in the garden – I have earned it!! And if I don’t get the veggie seeds planted, I’ll have nothing to show this summer!  I have been sketching and drawing and planning and have a new vegetable patch design – I will post it to show you how I spend rainy days – I still think of my garden! And this design is all based on good companion planting!

Ok – here is the BEFORE photos ….. just to let you all know my garden gets really, really wild!!

Country living is the best! Being a true spirit of the earth, my garden is all about vegetables and fruit trees and herbs and chickens roaming free. I was keen to really start gardening when we moved to Philadelphia in 2005, but not your typical suburban-type garden – sterile and bug-free! I wanted an edible garden.

I have a problem with Psylla pest on my Eurika Lemon Tree.
What can I use to stop it.

Thanks

It’s been raining quite a bit in the North West province and I’m looking forward to a bit of wildness, especially veggies that self-seed and show up in unexpected places. They are such a gift!

While I have a WILDlife garden it can become too WILD. I am rethinking and working on new plans this winter…but it will take almost a whole year of re-evaluating. My veg garden is in raised beds. Easier for me to work in, weed and grow veggies.
