Garden plans

Yes, it's only two days to Xmess but I turn my attention to the new garden, which requires a new plan. It's a woodland garden; what little bit of garden I have is wrested from the grasp of the wood around us, and it isn't much! Tilling earth here is rather pointless; it's a place of tree and weed and fungus, so while I may do some root veg gardening, most of my energy will be put into fruit and nut trees from here on out. The trees I have are staying in their pots, and I have a few more arriving which will round out the fruit offerings we've got already waiting for us here; raspberry, gooseberry, currant.

I've ordered three varieties of filbert; I'll be using these as edible hedging. I considered the dog rose again but I'm keeping mind the hazelnuts will mean a fair bit of coppicing and tending, so I'd rather not overcram things. My portable pots and the side-bed will be pressed into service for growing various herbs medicinal and culinary, as I'm working on further developing my relationship with herbs.

The garden here will be more about herbs and fruit than the more cultivated garden I had in the other house. I'm looking forward to what I can get growing in this woodland space.
