The blank canvas

It started with an unused triangle at the bottom of the garden used for dumping grass cuttings. I got into composting and created a separate composting area. This freed up the space to do whatever I wanted.

I wanted a wildflower meadow style area.

I cleared the area and planted grass seed and wildflower seeds. That didn't work. I got a few flowers and lots of long grass. Not sure why I had expected this to have worked.

Then i got obsessed with bees.  They are incredible. Heros. Heroines actually. The boys are only good for one thing. Bees are my spirit animal. Always on the go getting shit done. Im a working mother and it always reassures me when i see them that it is natural to be busy. (Though in the long term it is not sustainable, the bees lifespan is not that long, but then babies grow up and hopefully life will not demand such a rele

ntless pace) Anyway, the bees. I wanted to plant a garden that was a feast for bees.

And so i did.
