The Sprout and the Bean



And the seed and the pickle and the pea too: this is seed saving aubergine -

and some totally organic corn -

This is Dee and Dave's place from the air -

Dave and Dee's current house - a small, semi-permanent bungalow - is the building on the far right, and you can just about see my car parked up nearby too. You can also see the pond/lake, with my little cabin and the greenhouse (the bigger of the two!) just to the right of that. Then to the left of the pond are the six mandellas - circular shaped vege gardens, it's a permaculture design - and the corn and raspberry patch.

The big brown swath is where Dee and Dave are still developing the porperty. Eventually it will have their new house that they are planning to build next year, and we are slowly planting up the rest into an orchard. 7 Hazelnuts went in last week, and by the end of July, just over 400 other trees will have gone in!
