A big shout out to all of our music/gardening friends from around the world! Thanks to Justin Patrick Moore in Cincinnati for an update of his Hugelkultur bed (above). It’s certainly looking great!

A few months ago it started off as the below (mentioned in the post here) and now has been filled with straw, soil, and underneath that, layers of compost and leaves and below that waste wood. It certainly looks like the plants like it! It may be worth having a go. Great stuff Justin! More on the practice of Hugelkultur here.

And thanks to our other good friend Gerry Hectic for sending a pic of his healthy looking pond. Is that watermint alongside that great lily Gerry? Brilliant!

Do send us pics of how you’re getting on with the garden this summer, we’re well up for receiving them!
