January in the Edible Garden - part 1

Picture
Things here in the Edible Garden still seem very new and experimental, and certainly a challenge to my existing experience in growing food - its been  easy to fall into limiting mindset of 'things should/could be so much better'" So, today I did a bit of a survey to look at what IS doing well in the garden.

* Salad leaves, peppers, peas, aubergines, chard, kale and almonds and radish are all currently being harvested.
* Broadbean plants are flowering, potato plants are starting to emerge through the soil, Leeks (above) have just been planed out, nasturtium and borage are growing slowly and well.
* The beds in one area are now nearly ready to add organic matter and then use
* The newly planted orange trees are thriving well!
* Holly planted an avocado tree as part of the design to make the maximum use of all our gray water. She also planted out some beautiful strawberry plants  
* Our lovely builder/farmer friends have pruned some trees and are returning next month to show us how to graft peach and  plum trees to healthy almond root stock.
* We've made a big difference to how things look and feel spiritually, by tidying up pathways and and cutting back some vegetation 
* We've created a lovely sitting area in the main garden,  in order to spend time other than work time in it, and appreciate it more. 
* Last week we had a mini  designing session and we now have some bigger (and exciting) plans for the main garden area to be explored further in the next few months.
