RE: Veggie's random garden - Veggie - 17-03-2022
The recent storms blew down some of the pallet fence that separated the far end of the garden from the wooded bit. Its been replaced with 6' chicken wire that was hanging around and its prompted a rethink of that end of the garden. I'll use the wire netting for Zephirine Drouhin roses (thornless), sweetpeas and mangetout - a living "fence" instead of rotting pallets!
The rose arch has collapsed and the "entrance" to the far end is much wider. This has given me my next idea - an Infinity Garden.
If I get rid of the brambles etc along the back fence. I'll be able to see into the field beyond. A few issues that may stop my view - the brambles in the field to which I don't have access and the dogs working out how to dig their way into the field, which is used for horse and sheep grazing.
I'll take some photos some time.

The "new" wire fence across the end of the 3 Veg enclosures.

The 3 joined GHs without most of the debris netting.

I love your garden. So many different areas and ideas!
RE: Veggie's random garden - Veggie - 17-03-2022
Most of the ideas change weekly.

Changes are afoot for the pond too. The dozen or so fish will be moved into the other pond and the water drained out of this one. Will probably leave the liner in place as there's a lot of rubbish underneath it - carpet, table tops, stones and tree roots, used to level it up. Will probably put the chickens in there for a while since its completely netted to keep out the heron.
Not sure how I'll use the space. Will need a lot of soil/compost to fill it so that may take a while to achieve. Some sort of hugelkultur maybe as there's plenty of old wood lying around.
Perhaps it will become a fruit cage or brassicas as the pigeons won't be able to get in.
Who knows? I don't.

An infinity garden with a ditch is a Ha Ha, I think that's quite appropriate for you.

Back soon"
There is a ditch there, before the fence. I used to be able to walk along the ditch but its so overgrown now that I can't even get down into it. Its one of my longstanding aims - to walk in the ditch again. Most people want to do something like see the Pyramids or climb Everest ................I just want to walk in the ditch.

Wasn't it Bigmally's pond that had a fish tv?
Veggie, I'm surprised - your garden is much more normal and tidy than I expected! I mean that in a good way lol

Sarriss, the garden's only just waking up after winter. Any hint of "there's tidy" will have disappeared soon. These photos show what I walk through to reach the Shop at the End of the Garden.
