Yes, I know it's November. But I found this garden tour video that I'd made back in August and it seemed a shame not to post it.

I enjoyed doing my little garden tour last month so much, I've done another one. Again, I've not tidied up - as much as I love seeing other people's lovely tidy (ish) gardens, mine just isn't like that right now. Small areas are relatively tidy, and those are the ones I often take pictures of, but in these little videos you're getting more of a sense of how the whole fits together - and that includes the half-finished projects and overgrown areas. I do sometimes want to hide those things... but actually I hope it helps you to see what 'in progress' rather than 'well established' looks like. Anyway. In the last month we've almost finished preparing the veg garden, and the seedlings are almost (but not quite) ready to go outside. Exciting stuff! I've been really enjoying watching video tours round other people's gardens, so thought I'd do one of my own. In it I show you our new veg patch (still in progress), the seedlings in the greenhouse, our edible windbreak, and our current water harvesting system. I don't have a perfect garden, and I confess I've made no effort to tidy up for this video. This is the lived-in garden of someone who is enthusiastic but who works full time in front of a laptop (and is on occasion quite idle).
I enjoyed doing this little tour, and I might try to do another one in June (perhaps on a slightly less windy day!) I think you can get a much better idea of the layout of a site from a video than from photographs sometimes, and if nothing else it will be interesting for me to see how things change. I've written about our veg garden plans here, and the edible windbreak was one of my permaculture diploma projects which you can read about here. Other gardens I've enjoyed virtually visiting: Those Plant People - April lockdown tour Grown to Cook - tour of permaculture kitchen garden |
JenniI've just finished my permaculture diploma, and am developing our garden and land in the Peak District. I'll share thoughts and projects, triumphs and mistakes. I'd love it if you joined me. Archives
