a humongous courgette ripe for the picking.

From the back, still lots to do!

From the front! Looking way better than just sticks!

Work in progress, my sister came two days ago to shovel some dirt onto the mound of sticks and debris.

Hügelkultur #3 is nearly complete and ready to receive seeds.

Mucky boots after all the rain but not complaining at all!

Broccoli and Brussels sprouts in front of my little greenhouse.

Chickens getting some time in the yard.

Potatoes - I’ll need to add more dirt or some straw once they get taller.

It’s been a day for #finances organization & then #gardening the rest of it. I needed to plant the #veggies growing in my #greenhouse. We’ll see how it grows. #Hikers coming in as well.

Fixed the fence, redid the pallet and arbor in the small garden. Moved compost and more!

Some of my hens in their hoop tractor.

Worked in my very big garden tilling and getting hugelkulture beds worked back up again.

Worked in my very big garden tilling and getting hugelkulture beds worked back up again. Cardboard is down in multiple spots to tamp down grass and nettles. Other parts have raised beds.

I worked in my gardens the past 4 days hunkering down & getting things prepared. Revamped my #hugelkulture beds & moved #compost.

I took the afternoon to work in my garden. Just trying to prepare and have seedlings I need to separate & transplant into individual pots.

It was a warm enough day so I moved a lot of compost. I hope it’s ready for May planting.

Raised bed with enclosed removable windows

Inside of the green house, arugula and kale surviving the winter

#plants + husband appreciation post.
We built this raised bed last year. I am all about #upcycling thus #hugelkulture fit right in. Branches from heavily trimmed trees + yard scraps + compost = less soil purchased. Saved storm windows from remodel = #greenhouse

The mound. Some of the cosmos fell over but decided that this was fine 👍

Distance shot from the dining room. My baby!

So, there is a small moundhere, however I feel like these cosmos, Zinnia, and other flowers are enjoying the fertilizer I placed inside.

Yay, #Hugelkulture!

Forget me nots coming back for spring

Zoomed out showing the whole mound

🌱 Cannot wait until this initial #Hugelkulture mound gets filled with things this year.

Today, we see the forget me not come back alive. At least, I'm fairly sure they are forget me nots...

I forget 🤷🤣🤔

My attempt at a mini “Hugel” mound as refugia. Hole, brash, logs, sods & soil. @WLGForum @froglifers @ARC_Bytes @ARGroupsUK #Hugelkulture #Autumnwatch
