It's getting busy in the Taylor household at the moment with plants creeping up in many a place. This wet and warm weather we've had in the last week has really got them going. It's also really got everything else suddenly kicking into action with a sea of green filling our field of vision. I've never been so observant of nature, and being conscience of the fact that literally within a week life suddenly appears and springs into action.
I've been annoying my dad with my organic hippie propoganda the last few months, but it seems to have been successful as he's purchased the 'Poster Child' of Permaculture Comfrey, specifically the Bocking 14 variety. This is a wonderful resource to have in your garden, it's deep roots bringing up a plethora of nutrients found deep down in the soil, something which other plants cannot do, check it out here We've also got the following propagating, Courgettes, Climbing Beans, Yellow Pear Tomatoes, Sweetcorn, Squash, Celery Marigolds, Nasturtiums and Sunflowers. We're going to be getting busy with some companion planting, the organic growers technique to protect plants from pests by warding them off and attracting beneficial insects to eat them. I've been rained off work temporarily today, however it doesn't bother me too much, suddenly having the morning off work isn't so bad as it gives me a chance to catch up on my other projects in life, and keeps things fresh and breaks the routine. I'm also getting busy with another gardening project of the guerrilla variety which should take off soon, and I'm playing a lot of guitar, hoping to play a few shows this summer. Boom, enjoy the start of summer :)
