Volunteer beauty

Flowers from the volunteer peas that grew from the pea straw I used to make the straw bale beds a few months ago.

Car park salad greens.

Wild mustard and thistles. They will make a good salad starter. I found them next to a carpark in town.

Gourmet carpark mushrooms.

Mushrooms growing in a carpark close to the centre of town. I’m not sure what kind these are, but remember having eaten them before.

Rosehips in time for cold and flu season.

Rosehips are around this time of the year, and appropriately, are full of vitamin C.

Bagging the compost bin against cold winds and inclement weather. A garbage bag helps to trap daytime temperature as well as stop the wind while being loose enough to allow air to move around the compost. It’s a cheap and efficient way to improve the efficiency of the composting process.
