Our Garden in March 2009

When I go back through old photos of our place I am always amazed at what we have achieved in such a short time.

I also feel reassured that we could reproduce a functional garden anywhere and in a much shorter time frame.

Just remind us (and you) of where we started.

The Good Bug Garden 2009

March 2007 there was no food, herbs in our front garden, in fact there was no life, even the ants had vacated.
