willow and squiggles
Mama Doe
With all the bad wind i bet all mine are bare too. Im even worse off than you because i havnt been risking the floor stuff. I will have to search out some brambles. I wish i knew if a place was 100% free of wildies. x
Well there's not a lot left here The Ash leaves have all fallen due to the wind. There are a few Alder leaves and a few Apple leaves, but they won't last very long. There's a small amount of Cow Parsley and a small amount of Dandelion. And that's it basically. Roll on March
Do you grow all that in your garden mightymax. Im going to grow weeds in spring. I would love to be able to just pick it from the garden.
We've managed to increase the quantity and variety of plants growing in the garden over the years. It's a case of leaving some to flower and seed and not picking it all for the rabbits :lol: We have hedges around the outside of the property and it's at the base of the hedges, both inside and outside, that most of the plants are to be found. Most of the plants will quite happily self-seed.
Twigs has *loads* of wonderful weeds in her garden. Absolutely splendid hogweed and loads of it
I would love a massive garden to grow weeds and plants. Im going to grow marigolds in spring/summer. The buns love the marigold and dandilion hay from b&m and im going to have a go adding in to their other hay too. I cant wait for spring to get started early this year. Ive only just got confident with hogweed. Do you think im being silly not picking forage off the floor when i picked it from the same places a few months ago? Plus all the walking i do i could be easily bringing vhd2 in on my shoes too. I feel silly at times.
Mine are seriously downsizing on outside space. What shall i grow them in pots & small border...that they won't scoff in one go? Any ideas
I find a rosemary in a pot is not only very hardy (winter proof) but bunny resilient too. They do eat it, but aren't able to demolish it completely!
I bought some strawberry plants and rationed them through netting. Sage was OK but got a beating. I find something just a little out of reach (i.e. not able to jump in) quite good, because they can peck at it, but not gobble it up. My marigolds were like that
Plantain they will eat fast, and buddleia too probably. Though they are quite hardy and grow back.
You'll have loads of lovely foraging nearby JB won't you?
good ideas thank you. Need something trailing. Was also thinking of mallow, spirally willow? Foraging will be good yes but nowhere near as plentiful. I'm imagining myself in a frock & wicker basket rather than raiding a sackfull in 5 minutes wearing me jim jams (like where I used to live). Obviously I jest about the frock but I will definitely have to het fully dressed. No main road which makes me happy. I hated the road we lived on before. Out back good, out front bad :lol:
Yes didn't you used to stray out onto a disused railway in a onesie? Or have I embroidered that? :lol:
Bob sometimes went in his black bear onesie :lol: I'd go in pyjamas but normally annorack or fleece as well. I don't do onesies
:lol: Well I'm into embroidery, as you know! I had in mind you set fire to your onesie, but probably a long time ago :lol:
I'd better not get onto the subject of my 'interesting' dressing gown :lol:
[/B] indeedy, i made nead to bear all :lol:
setting fire to my onesie makes me sound a right weirdo :lol: It just got caught multiple burns on it from strippnng a radiator with a heat gun thingy. Dastardly gloss paint
