A spot of agriculture

After our achievements on Saturday, we decided to dedicate Sunday to field work. As Yuko and I are known to sport the "black thumbs of death" in terms of gardening, we were glad to have farmer son Alastair to give some hints.

Please be careful when cutting grass when you visit, as we have embedded edible plants in various locations on the field and other places around the house.

Starting Cultivation

I also made a start on our fields. We need to plant a crop that does not require a lot of attention, and can easily be harvested. Ideally we can use it in the kitchen during our stays. Therefore I planted three Rosemary plants in front of the entrance.






My wife and daughter also became active by planting a set of tulips, to welcome visitors in spring and summer.
