As I mentioned a while ago I've now got the beginnings of a herb garden. It's not fancy or complicated, but I intend to expand it over time. It's not like I don't have the space! I've also recently put myself on a low carb diet, so my eating habits have changed quite a bit. Which brings me to the subject of fruit. I can't really eat most fruits, as their sugar levels are … [Read more...] about Growing Herbs and Maybe Some Fruit

Taming the Garden, Adding More Touches and Taking a few Aerial Photos
One of the things that I love about the house is that it has ample space around it, including a fairly big back garden. Unfortunately nobody had done anything with the garden in years.
