Dwarf blueberry bushes – “Sunshine Blue”. Blueberries require another compatible plant to cross-pollinate. I am not sure why I planted two of the same variety. It would make more sense to have a second variety that fruits at a slightly different time to extend the season. They have both been been prolific fruiters over a long period, so maybe it was the right decision.
I need to pick any blueberries before I let the chooks out to forage, as they will go straight to them.
The marigolds are just to add colour, but the petals look pretty in mixed salads.
Some of summer’s basil is still green and lingering between the pots, and you can see the brown heads gone to seed in the right hand side – hopefully about to self-sew all over the garden.
Our neighbours chooks got lose and had babies in our garden. The hens and a rooster now live between us and a couple of neighbours but we’re their primary food & shelter. I find then endlessely amusing. They’d love your garden!
