The weather has been odd in Iceland, the vegetation is at least three weeks ahead of schedule and so are the migration birds such as the plover, oystercatcher, reds and, well the list is long. This is sadly due to the disastrous global warming. Secretly and selfishly I welcome the warmth but mostly for my garden. But it really doesn’t feel right. And it’s truly worrying. I will however put pictures here of my garden. I built loads of free standing raised vegetable/flower boxes because the soil in my garden is pore, nothing but gravel and stones, and where there is a little bit of earth to be found it is just clay and so my solution for growing veggies are boxes 🙂
All in all I have 8 raised beds, which I built myself. I have taken some measures in order to improve the soil in the garden, but it will take time. But being impatient when it comes to growing my own lettuce I made boxes. In addition to that I have planted loads of bulbs all over the garden cause I love flowers. Daffodils and tulips they are hardy and can handle my rough garden 🙂
But plenty of other plans are brewing, in my head, well I talk like I do all the work. I don’t. My partner and I do it together of course, but I still built the raised beds all by myself 😀
There is pea-bed, strawberry-bed, lettuce and herbs-bed and then few mixed beds…
