Garden Update

We are nearing the end of our third summer in the house, and what a change from that first! We have a few pictures of the continued work in our postage stamp yard, which includes a reclaimed brick pad and hand built composter. We (or I) have become avid gardeners since we purchased the house, and have managed to plant a number of food-bearing plants and shrubs, as well as perennials to cool down the hot summer days. We've planted two Elderberry plants, native to southern Ontario, and which in a couple of years should provide us with both flowers for cordial and berries for jams. Currants, herbs, and homeopathic plants such as Bee Balm (also great for our pollinator friends!) and Lemon Balm all have been squashed into place. We are just beginning to see the fruits of our labours (literally). Here are a few shots of the brick work, our composter which in two years has worked out tremendously, and our raised veggie patch.
