Looking after ourselves

Re: Self care by growing a garden

Is your greenhouse finished @Smc ?

Re: Self care by growing a garden

Oooops, yeah. All the best with the rest of the job. 🙂 May the digging be easy, and the rocks few.

 

 

Re: Self care by growing a garden

Was blessed to be given a Bunnings voucher and had the opportunity to use it today. Headed straight to the garden centre and was able to buy a dwarf mulberry tree and some silvanberry plants as well as a couple of punnets of seaside daisies which I plan to plant at the base of the bramble berries.

Re: Self care by growing a garden

A Dwarf Mulberry tree @Former-Member Nice, I hope it has lots of Mulberries.

I've only seen the full-size version (rather big).

I'm not familiar with Silvanberry plants, I shall have to look those up.

Seaside daisies, nice - I know those.

Dwarf mulberry tree grows about 3x3m @Adge .

Silvanberries are one of the darkest sweetest bramble berries.

Re: Self care by growing a garden

When I looked up Silvanberries (several sites) @Former-Member They said that it is a type of Thornless Blackberry.

Just as well, because Blackberries are very Thorny - & are a noxious weed.

3x3m for your Dwarf Mulberry - seems plenty big enough.

Re: Self care by growing a garden

The silvanberries I have are  not thornless @Adge.  

Re: Self care by growing a garden

@Former-MemberYummm mulberries....

The greenhouse is a "work in progress", and will be for a while, but is complete enough to be keeping things safe. I've got shadecloth filling in a few sections at the moment, which will protect well enough against "regualr" frosts but not really heavy frost, so I still need to properly finish those parts. That will include putting in a door. I'm also continuing some "interior" work, levelling the ground inside and covering it with mulch.

Self care by growing a garden

Hello @Winter2 👋

Would love to hear of your gardening adventures in this self care discussion thread.

 

How are you going @Sheila ?

Re: Self care by growing a garden

Hello @TAly 

This is the gardening discussion thread on the carers side, the one on the lived experience (LE) side is more active. 

 

As gardening for some of us is very much a self care activity, we try and gently encourage each other to get out and enjoy our garden and celebrating successes whether they be great or small. When I post on the LE side, it is much more general.
