Sacred Sunday

 I had a lucky find in a local charity shop . This beautiful picture of a stone circle . It is probably one of our local Cornish circles and I have a feeling I,ve been there ....hmmm..
 Does anyone know where this is ?
 I carried it down to the Town Hall where we enjoy a cup of tea and slice of hot cheese flan ....several people commented on what a beautiful picture it is !  I absolutely love it ! This photo doesn't  really do it justice .  

Lasagne Method Gardening Triumph !

  Well , we had a bumper crop of courgettes , runner beans , french beans  , onions  shallots, the butternuts are climbing up the beanpole frame and that pumpkin is still growing ...in fact I think it is trying to escape !
   I will be doing this  " lasagne method " on all the veg beds for the next season ..it certainly is a good way to replenish the earth .

Making a Lasagne Vegetable Bed

It was about this time last year that a friend on Allotments4All  also from MereBrow Giant Pumpkins.com sent me these free giant pumpkin seeds ... ( .thankyou SO much MereBrow ! ) .... whoo hoo! , and I  began my first real trial of doing a  " lasagne bed " up in my veg garden .
 So I began straight away ... you can start this now !  Remove the weeds as best you can , then lay down newspapers , cardboard , manure , veg peelings , brittle brown branches and sticks and leaves , tea bags ,grass clippings after mowing ....  make it in layers ....like a lasagne  !  Begin now and slowly layer it all up through the winter..and the worms will munch their way through it...if you listen ..you can hear them crunching : )
   Then in the Spring you can just fork through it  and tumble it over abit.....it will look like crumbled Christmas Pudding ..... yummy...... well..for your plants it will be anyway !
