Burwell Botanica

Here are the latest series of pictures showing my progress on my raised garden bed using the Hügelkultur method. I try to use only materials that are onsite or free and easily available. Click the pics to learn more.

Hi Everyone! I know I haven't posted in a while, and well it's because I've moved to the California foothills in Gold Country. Join me on my new adventure as I build a permaculture garden. Onsite are fruit trees- apples, figs, and walnuts. There is a giant composted pile. It has already snowed a couple times and another weeklong rain and snowstorm arrives today. This site will require pruning and thinning to start, which will give me much needed supplies for a Hügelkultur bed! I'm excited for the new beginnings and this weather is giving me lots of time to observe, contemplate, (create art) and plan for the future.

Borage for BEES. Another plant considered a w**d. I planted some, by my bell pepper starts. Since it's thought of negatively I'm sure just about anyone wouldn't mind if you knocked on their door asking if it were ok to remove some. Bees might even return the favor and pollinate the flowers of the food we grow.

Know what makes me happy? Free seeds!!
