Milford Garden #:5 3 full beds, cat poop, and no-rush Asparagus
Not 3 but 4 full beds in place .. planting in full swing, things actually rooting and starting to grow .. .. and turf's up on paths ready for sand, gravel and a few slabs. It would be nice to wander bare-foot through my beds but .. doesn't appeal to me in winter, so gravel it is!
Current quandary .. how to keep cats from peeing and pooping in one's raised beds?
One new thing I learnt about this time .. "the Growing Gap". All you seasoned gardeners will know all about it, and it's not just a buzz word, it's a proper thing!
Also, Asparagus! I have never ever seen it in garden nurseries before .. but I saw some and thought, ooh! I like that! Let's bung a few in and see if I can grow a crop. Planted it . now just a 2 or 3 year wait. I love a bit of suspense.
Note to self: write down what I planted where .. exactly! I am already forgetting what I planted and where .. all these little seedlings look the same to me. I will make some sort of Plan. And get in the habit of actually labelling things when I plant them . Yes, I know it's common sense. 😎 I get distracted.

My Milford Garden #:4 Beds in place .. and we're filling up!
มุมมอง 862 หลายเดือนก่อน
4 bed frames now in place (1 was an afterthought!), still to be filled with brash, top soil and compost .. so a bit of a peek at how they've been constructed. The potting shed is a bit full now and all the little seedlings and/or plug plants are starting to get quite impatient about being planted out ... #permaculturegarden #homegrownrevolution #nofarmersnofood #morefarmersmorefood #edibleperen...
Milford Garden #3 Materials on site

First of the raised bed materials delivered today .... timber, aggregate for the gravel paths, a few slabs .. and in a week or so, there'll be a load of top soil arriving too. It'll all get strategically dumped at the front of the house and then get carried/lugged/heaved/wheelbarrowed round to the garden at the back, as it's needed more or less. And the clearing /relocating / repurposing of a l...
My Milford Garden #2 - Plans Drafted
มุมมอง 396 หลายเดือนก่อน
If you keep doing what you've aways done, you get more of what you already got, right? So if you want something different, you have to do something different. I think it was Henry Ford or someone said that, but it's kind of obvious really. I want to make better use of my garden space .. so I'm doing something different and giving it all pretty dramatic makeover. I'm no gardening expert .. but I...
My Milford Garden #1 - P is for Permaculture .. first ideas!
มุมมอง 359 หลายเดือนก่อน
After dabbling with home-growing for a year or two, and thoroughly enjoying the limited array of veg, salad, fruit and herbs that I've managed to succeed, I've decided to get a bit more out of my garden by putting more time and effort into it. As so many of us are doing with whatever growing space we're in stewardship of, I want to be more productive and enjoy the taste of more home-grown, whet...
Hopi Ear Candling - Holistic Therapy Spotlight with 4 candles
มุมมอง 3910 หลายเดือนก่อน
This video gives a little background about Thermo-Auricular Therapy (Hopi Candling), a complimentary therapy that can be very helpful for a wide range of ENT (Ear Nose Throat) issues. Before I became a therapist myself, I had often seen pictures of Hopi treatments and remember thinking, "why on earth would you want to stick a burning candle in your ear??!". I didn't realise, at the time, that i...

Getting out and about ..

Spent a weekend working at a festival earlier this month, where I help to organise the Wellbeing area set aside from the main festival ... it's a chillax space .. even though the Festival is right next to an airport and a motorcycle race track! It's quite a different setting! And a change of scenery now and then in your workspace can totally be a catalyst for more creativity Here's just a few o...

What is EFT Tapping Therapy and what could it be used for?

In a recent interview, Sally Race, Clinical Hypnotherapist, touches on what first ever turned her OFF from ...
