Mother Nature Gardening.


 I went down the boreen to collect some Nasturtiums for the black pig and the rabbits tea.

I noticed peas growing through a old gate lying next to the veg plot.

They must of fell out of last years compost pile or they are garden escapees like the Nasturtiums from the veg plot.

I think this could be an exhibit in the Tate Modern or a show garden at Chelsea Flower Show next year.

Isn't Mother Nature amazing?

  4. I'm waiting for the greening of my garden, nasturtiums and clover/sorrel, oxalis, whatever it is. They pop up and make a beautiful green cover every winter. We are waiting for rain so mother nature can perform her miracles. Everything is behind this year because of the searing summer heat

  6. Father Nature is even more amazing. He gets up very early to go to work when Mother Nature is still slumbering. Later she will meet up with her pals at "The Green Fingers" for coffee and a natter while Father Nature slaves away, unseen and unacknowledged.

    2. Man cave. Or Uncle Morts railway carriage on his Sheffield allotment. "I Didn't know You Cared". My favourite comedy writer Peter Tinniswood wrote it. " I heard that pardon".

  8. Wonderful. I've now got two sunflowers in the garden, which didn't get planted by me.

  9. Do you feed the birds in winter Jules? The birds leave me presents and brambles appear from nowhere. I suppose a lot of seeds arrive with the wind and rain?

    1. Yes, the birds enjoy quite a buffet, so I'm pretty sure this is where my sunflowers came from. A nice surprise :)
