All the raised beds have been mulched with a couple of inches of compost. We will now let the magic happen-worms and microbes preparing the soil. The stage is set for another growing season. Charles Dowding No Dig Gardening Soil Association #polytunnel #nodig #mulch #organiccompost #thestageisset

Mayur’s train is growing in spectacularly as usual. It will be a sure sign of spring when he starts displaying again. Until then, we will enjoy his peacock blue gleaming in the winter sun. #peacock #indianblue #fancypheasant #brightenyourday
